1. Student? Do something at your university
You can support ActionAid at your university or college.
• RAG raids with ActionAid are a little bit special. Our dedicated RAG officer Jen always has permits available all over the UK and like all the best DJs, she also does requests. You get all the kit you need including t-shirts, plus a fancy dress theme that will turn your world upside down.
• ActionAid’s global youth network is rocking the boat worldwide as thousands of young people are joining forces to demand a HungerFREE planet.
If you are already part of a campaign / fundraising group, or want to start one up, our Activista network could be just what you are looking for.
Get campaign and leadership training, meet new people, and start changing lives by campaigning in your union.

3. Join the tour - put on a club night, gig or event for ActionAid
The Bollocks to Poverty tour is a whole load of events happening around the UK to fight global poverty with ActionAid, all organised by lovely people like you.
Your event can be anything: club night, gig, art exhibition, fashion show, pub quiz, football tournament, film screening or even a house party. And you choose whether to raise awareness or money or both.
We help by providing stickers, badges, posters, visuals and advice on fundraising and getting media coverage.
We can promote your event on our website and across our facebook and myspace networks too.

2. Tell your MP to close tax loopholes
Around the world, multinationals exploit tax loopholes. It costs developing countries much more than they receive in aid each year.
Tax revenues that could pay for teachers, doctors, clean water and roads are being sucked out of poor countries and into tax havens.

It's time big business stopped tax dodging and paid its fair share.
