Students at The University of Nottingham have won the ‘RAG of the Year’ award after
raising over £50,000 for Breast Cancer Campaign.

Members of Nottingham Karnival, the Students’ Union-run Raising and Giving (RAG)
group, Nottingham Karnival, received the award at Breast Cancer Campaign’s awards
ceremony at the House of Lords last week. The group managed to collect over £22,000
in a single day, when over 100 members visited London for the ‘wear it pink megaraid’
in October.

Nottingham Karnival say that in 2009 they became the first student RAG group to 
raise over £1 million for charity in a single year.

Chris Bowman, the director of Nottingham Karnival, said: “We are dedicated to raising
money for charity and have enjoyed every collection we have taken part in including
the early starts, waking up in the early hours getting ready to hit the streets 
and sometimes collecting for 12 hours straight to make sure we have raised all we
can!”
