What does DUCK mean in UNIVERSITIES

DUCK (Durham University Charity Kommittee) is Durham University's largest student-run charity organization. It is responsible for organizing and supporting various fundraising events and initiatives throughout the year.

DUCK raises money for local, national, and international charities through a variety of events such as RAG (Raise and Give) Week, Jailbreak, and the Durham Student Ball. It also organizes volunteering opportunities and supports other student-led fundraising initiatives.

You can sign up to volunteer for DUCK's events or join one of its committees. You can also donate to DUCK's fundraising campaigns or attend its events. Visit DUCK's website or social media pages for more information.

RAG Week (Raise and Give Week) is DUCK's annual week-long fundraising event. It typically takes place in February and involves a variety of activities such as sponsored challenges, fancy dress competitions, and live music events. All proceeds from RAG Week go to charity.

Jailbreak is DUCK's annual event where teams of students are "arrested" and taken to a secret location. They must then use their skills and creativity to escape and raise as much money as possible for charity.

DUCK has raised over £10 million for charity since its inception in 1965. It is one of the most successful student-run charity organizations in the UK.
