Torcher Parade

The Torcher Parade is the largest student torch-lit parade in Europe! The main aim of the Torcher Parade is to raise as much money as possible for charities around Aberdeen. Aberdeen Students’ Charities Campaign - incorporating students from all three of Aberdeen's higher institutions - is looking for money collectors and stewards that help marshal the event and clear up afterwards.

Any RGU: UNION Society that would like to have a float please contact Lydia Fyall, RugRag President, on rgucharities@hotmail.com, or see below for an application form.
