RAG elections open today – who will you vote for?

This year the RAG election is an all student vote, so it’s important that you have your say. RAG is a fantastic society that works tirelessly to raise money for numerous charities for no reward.

Take some time out of your day to spare this vote some thought in repayment for all the efforts these lovely people go to. Let’s meet the candidates.

Jessica Pollard and Pete Gillabrand

This pair recently co-managed Rock Solid, a very successful event that…. And have also participated in fundraising events such as Sleep Easy, Jailbreak and the Budapest Marathon.

They hope to:

A: Adapt their student group to the next level through building system we have, both internally and externally with businesses, charities and other RAGs.

B: Better communication with our subcommittees including the AU and other individuals hoping to fundraise.

C: Challenges. They hope to build on the amazing fundraising success through our ‘traditional’ RAG approach to events.

D: Display our achievements more and reward people for their hard work and effort.

They believe that they should win your vote because they are enthusiastic fundraisers that have great ambition to leave Exeter’s RAG society in a better place than they found it. They hope that forging a stronger relationship with the AU will hugely benefit both institutions.
