Fancy joining a community of people who love festivals and want to give something back?
Volunteering with Oxfam is a brilliant way to experience the festival, while also helping to fight poverty around the world.
How it works…
You will be asked to complete three 8 ¼ hour shifts over the course of the festival and the rest of the time is yours to enjoy. You will get the training you need, secure camping, hot tea and coffee. There is also a free shuttle bus running from Southampton straight into the festival site. As part of the online application process you’ll be asked to part with a one-off refundable deposit which is equal to the price of the festival ticket. This deposit will be returned four weeks after you have completed your agreed shifts and gives you access to over 20 other festivals this summer, too.
Oxfam is a global movement of millions of people who share the belief that, in a world rich in resources, poverty isn’t inevitable. By volunteering your time, you make Oxfam’s life-saving, life-changing work possible – and take us a step closer to beating poverty for good. What are you waiting for?
