Lboro students raise more than ￡1m for charity...again!

Loughborough Students’ Union Rag (Raising and Giving) has once more raised over ￡1m to help support local and national charities. It is the sixth year running that Rag has broken the ￡1m barrier.  This year, Loughborough students managed to raise an impressive ￡1,393,847.08 through a wide range of activities and fundraising events. 

The Rag team received the Prime Minister’s Big Society Award in 2013 for their efforts, at the time David Cameron said "Loughborough Students’ Action Group [is] helping a whole generation of local students make their first steps in volunteering is so important. Their commitment to involving the whole student community including international students with the local community is fantastic. By making volunteering the norm in their community Action has given thousands of hours of time to making a difference to local people and this Big Society Award recognises that.  I hope they continue to inspire even more people to get involved.”
