The Students’ Union are delighted to be welcoming Archbishop Desmond Tutu as their guest of honour at the RAG Community Festival on Wednesday 11 February in support of one of Southampton’s RAG charities this year, the Tutu Foundation (UK).
The Tutu Foundation (UK) was launched in June 2007 to continue the inspiring and transforming work of Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu in the United Kingdom. More information about the Tutu Foundation can be found at www.tutufoundationuk.org
The festival organised by ‘RAG’ or ‘Raise and Give’ – the Students’ Union’s fundraising department – will run between 12noon and 4pm with stalls, performances and displays.
During the festival, the Archbishop will speak about how to address societal problems in the ‘Ubuntu’ way. His talk will take place in the Cube at 1.30pm. The talk will also be screened in the Union and in the Stag’s Head free of charge.
Although this event is primarily for students, a limited number of tickets for the Archbishop’s talk have been made available for University staff to purchase for £10 each. If you have a question that you would like to ask the Archbishop please email it to [email protected]

The draw for these tickets will be made on Monday 2 February. Staff whose names are successfully drawn will be contacted by 12noon, Monday 2 February to confirm the process for claiming and paying for the ticket they have been allocated.
