campaigns<br />

AUSA runs a variety of campaigns to improve your time at University,<br />

from campaigning for fairer rent to fighting job cuts. We also support<br />

students to run campaigns by providing resources and advice. If<br />

you’re passionate about a cause and want to make a change - get in<br />

touch with the AUSA Communities Officer at:<br />

ausacommunities@abdn.ac.uk<br />

AUSA Volunteers<br />

This is a great way to learn new skills, meet new people and can<br />

be flexible to fit around your studies. AUSA staff can help you to<br />

become a committee member, an AUSA volunteer or a volunteer for<br />

a local group or charity. All your volunteering hours count towards<br />

the Saltire Award which is a Scottish Government programme<br />

established to recognise the contribution of young people to society.<br />

Fundraising<br />

AUSA Raising and Giving (AUSA RAG) is the main student led<br />

fundraising campaign which raises money each year for local<br />

charities. RAG is particularly known for its Torcher Parade, RAG<br />

Week, Fashion Show and <strong>Student</strong> Show.<br />

RAG raises funds throughout the year by holding lots of fun and<br />

interesting events for students to get involved in.<br />
