During the summer months in the UK a number of large festival events have an enormous task of clearing the unwanted items left by music lovers.
We always welcome volunteers for tent and sleeping bag salvage. In August 2024 we are focused on both the Reading and Leeds Festivals, in conjunction with Herts for Refugees. We will announce our involvement using social media so please look out for notifications.
We are particularly in need of people with vans or large estate cars that can assist by picking up the sorted tents and sleeping bags and ferrying them back to the larger trucks. If you can help, please let us know and we can pass you onto the right people so that you can be registered and provided with the correct passes that will allow access to the venues.
It cannot be stressed enough that protection from weather and warmth is paramount to refugees and these unwanted items are invaluable in a time of need.
