Student Fundraising
DUCK (Durham University Charities Kommittee)
DUCK is our very own version of what other students’ unions call their ‘Raise and Give’ societies. Our job is to help students and staff fundraise hundreds of thousands of pounds for local, national and international charities. There’s something for everyone, from events like the Santa Fun Run and the Cathedral Sleepout, to expeditions to Cambodia or Nepal, and not forgetting running the London Marathon. It’s a great way to get involved and raise money for incredible causes!
