Charities

At the beginning of Michaelmas term in October, our Central Committee and College Reps vote on the charities that they would like to support throughout the academic year to come. Of these ten charities, five are international/national and five local to the East Anglia region. The money we raise from our “untagged”events, such as Blind Date, Jailbreak and LOST, is divided equally between these charities.

In June 2011, each of our ten chosen charities received a cheque for £4000. To find out more about the charities we are supporting this year, see our Whom We Support page.

Cambridge RAG also supports the Cambridge Council for Voluntary Service, providing them with enough money to give smaller grants to smaller community and voluntary groups in Cambridge City, South Cambridgeshire and Fenland. Last year we gave the CCVS £7000 to distribute to 35 groups, each receiving £200.
