What is RAG?
Give Back!
Each year, we organising various fundraising activities to support a local charity, chosen by our students.
Get Creative!
From skydives, to tractor pulls, to bake sales, to water sports… our students dream big. What out-of-the-box fundraising activity can you think of?
Have Fun!

Our Chosen Charity for 2025/26
Reaseheath’s Charity of the Year is David Lewis!
This charity has been transforming lives for over 120 years, providing residential, educational, and medical services for young people and adults with complex needs.
The David Lewis Centre has a strong local presence, and the Students’ Union believed we could build a meaningful relationship that would enable students to engage directly with the charity’s mission.
“We chose David Lewis because it’s local, does amazing work, and we can actually get involved and see the difference we’re making. We’re super excited to volunteer, run events, and hopefully smash our £20,000 target this year – it’s all about giving back and making an impact together!” Kirsty Thornton, Student Life Coordinator.
So far, we have had the pleasure of hosting the David Lewis Centre at Reaseheath during our Freshers’ Fair to introduce the charity to the college. More recently, we also welcomed a representative at our UNITY Festival, where we raised money through a bake sale! Find out more about our chosen charity, David Lewis.
