At LSE SU RAG, we think it is important that the charities we choose to support over the forthcoming year are decided on by the students of LSE.
We therefore want you to have the final say, and as such we invite you to pick between several shortlisted charities at a Local, National and International level. Voting is open between 10am Tuesday and Thursday 5pm this week, and the link is www.lsesu.com/vote
