In Association with CHARITY WEEK 2010:

RAG Week stands for Raise And Give Week and the purpose of the week has always been to run events and fundraise for a chosen charity.

Over the years, the charity part of the week and the message has been lost, so this year, RAG Week is becoming CHARITY WEEK with 'The Gathering' being the highlight of the week, a huge first for Maynooth Students' Union, NUI Maynooth and the town of Maynooth.

There will be alot of the features - day-time and evening events - students will have come to expect from previous years, but the real focus of CHARITY WEEK 2010 is to raise money for The Little Way, Cancer Support Charity in Clane.

Keep an eye on our facebook page or our special The Gathering web page for details as they're released.
