University Students' Union launch poll to pick their RAG charities

The University of Plymouth Students' Union (UPSU) has decided to change the way it selects its annual 2013/14 RAG charities by giving members of the university's website a chance to vote.

UPSU has shortlisted seven charities, three of which will benefit from money raised through its fundraising events.

The charities are Help For Heroes, MacMillan Cancer Support, NSPCC, Oxfam, RNLI, St Luke's Hospice Plymouth and Teenage Cancer Trust.

Website users can vote for the charities here. http://www.upsu.com/content/742553/. Voting closes on Friday 3 May.
