Students’ Union Raises €27,000 for Charity
University of Galway Students’ Union have presented the proceeds of their year of fundraising events to Galway Rape Crisis Centre and GOAL. The unique charity events held throughout the academic year raised a total of €27,000 for the two charities.

The Students’ Union held fundraisers throughout the year with the majority taking place during Raise and Give Week in February which included events such as the Firewalk, a head shave, the RAG Rose competition, a charity auction, a 5km fun run, and a 5 A Side Tournament. They also held a giant Christmas Raffle, saucy Sex Toy Bingo, Take Me Out, cake sales and dunk tanks. Their iconic “Big Yellow Thing” socks are on sale all year round to help boost funds raised.

Students’ Union President Maisie Hall said: “We're delighted to have raised so much money for charity, and it's all thanks to each and every student that got involved with our events throughout the year. We’d also like to thank the University for supporting Raise and Give week which helped focus our fundraising efforts and bring a great sense of community to campus."

Students’ Union Vice-President/Welfare and Equality Officer Paddy Marnane added: “In what has been another challenging year with the continued cost of living crisis it’s great that the students and staff of University of Galway have put such a huge effort in to raising funds to help others. We are delighted to be presenting €27,000 to these two amazing charities who help so many in need. To have raised so much is a great achievement for all involved.”
