Summary
Raising and Giving - take it back now y'all.
Details
In 2020, a policy was passed to create a RAG Wellbeing Fund 'to go towards the wellbeing of all Aber students'. Since its creation, it has raised over £2500 (tbc). The monies in this fund have yet to be touched.
As an SU we promise to be a positive influence and raising money for good causes can be part of that. The money in the RAG Wellbeing fund needs to be spent rather than building up in an untouched pot.
To combat this, I propose that we begin discussions about how we spend our fund and revert back to fundraising for a student voted Charity/ies of the Year.
The RAG Wellbeing Fund policy still has one year remaining but as we bring back prioritising RAG this year, I believe that now is the perfect time for a revamp
