Fundraising and RAG

Raise and Give is our way to fundraise for charities - we love it when our student groups raise money for good causes!

Did you know UWLSU is also a charity?

Usually charities are not allowed to donate to other charities. However, UWLSU is a Students' Union and is therefore exempt from this rule, as long as we follow a set of guidelines.

Guidelines

Must have a charity number

Charities must be registered in the UK and have a UK Charity number. Most international charities do have these and they will be listed on their websites.

Must be up to date with all submissions

They must not have any outstanding paperwork needing to be submitted to the charity commission. Any irregularities will be flagged and discussed.

How do I know who I can use?

A full list of current registered charities can be found on the Charity Commission website.

Charity Commission website

Must be registered with the Charitiy Commission

This is the regulatory body for all charities in the UK. We check all requests with this company to ensure they are registered.

Must be non-controversial

We will not permit fundraisers for charities with links to extremism, religious conversion, racist, sexist or homophobic links, or anything that could bring our reputation into disrepute.

Complete the form

UWLSU has a Raise and Give form that needs to be completed alongside an Events Request form for all Charity Fundraisers. The RAG Form tells us all the important information that we need to know in order to support you, your group and your planned activity. You are able to get a Fundraising form from here.

Fundraising form

You must submit the RAG Form four weeks before planned fundraising activity, or eight weeks before if it's a larger event or activity.
