RAG stands for Raising and Giving.

This year, we are bringing you a week of fundraising events from Monday 22nd to Sunday 28th March.

We are inviting you all to get involved and help us raise as much money as possible!

Colchester Food Bank is one of the 2 charities that students voted for this year to fundraise for as part of RAG.

The impact on Covid19 on food poverty is massive and we hope that as part of the local community Essex Students can support those in need right now.

The second charity we are fundraising for is Black Minds Matter which we have set up a fundraising campaign for here https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/essexrag2021bmm

"Our mission is to connect Black individuals and families with free mental health services — by professional Black therapists to support their mental health. To make this happen, we want to make mental health topics more relevant and accessible for all Black people in the U.K., removing the stigma and remodelling the services to be relevant for the Black community.
