Challenge Registration Fee Guidelines and

Conditions 2012/13.

1. T-Shirts £8 As part of your registration fee you will receive a challenge t t-shirt.

This will feature the charity’s logo and will be designed by your

challenge leaders. They will be great to wear when you are doing

any fundraising activities and of course when taking part in the

challenge itself.

2) RAGmin £27 Leeds RAG, as the official fundraising body of LUU has a full-time

coordinator to help with the administration and organisation of all

their projects and events. The coordinator is accountable to the

RAG committee. In order to fund this position, and to cover the

running costs of the office (printing, telephone, collection buckets

etc) RAG must raise this money itself. This is what we call RAGmin.

Please see the pie chart overleaf for the breakdown of RAGmin.

In order to maximise the amount of money donated to charity,

RAG raises the majority of its RAGmin through a registration fee

process. This means that we are honestly able to say that all the

money raised for a charity through a RAG event goes directly to

that charity (unless stated otherwise).

RAGmin Breakdown

Membership t-shirts - something which makes RAG

members distinctive around campus.

Publicity and Advertising - RAG mags, flyers and

posters are some of the ways RAG captures student

attention.

RAG’s running costs - our day-to-day expenses - bill

for the office phone, stationary and printing. Dull

stuff!

Salary for RAG's full-time Coordinator -

as the elected committee are all students, they do

not have the time to run every aspect of an

organisation that raises over a quarter of a million

pounds for charity. Therefore, RAG has a full-time

member of staff which is paid for out of part of the

registration fees.

Team leader and committee training – The president

and committee organise days of team building

exercises, leadership training and the handover of

information and advice from old to new leaders

and committee.
