What team are you on? I'm team 1. We basically cleaned up the campsites Tues - Thursday, 8-5pm with a lunch break. Its hard work but rewarding x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After 5 years litterpicking John Peel I’m going to be litterpicking theatre and circus. Chuffed to bits! (as if I need to spend *more* time around there!) Same for my husband and I (we must have volunteered together last year). Prior to 2022, we volunteered for a different charity litter picking the Pyramid Stage in 2016 (very muddy) so we're pleased with the theatre & circus shift this year!

I have also been told I am halfway down the list! I send my application back within Minutes of receiving it from Fiona. I am still living in hope of a spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rufio436 Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 Hi all! I'm volunteering with Shelter for the first time. Has anyone heard about the training or transport yet? Also if anyone knows of a Facebook or WhatsApp group that would be great as I'll be coming on my own. Thanks! X Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack.194 Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Anybody have any info on how to go about getting volunteer tickets? They come up quite soon after the resale don’t they? I was lucky in the resale (thanks to an amazing amazing helper in our group!) but some friends weren’t as fortunate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most volunteers sorted their places out months ago either as a Plan A, or Plan B after the first sale. So it’s likely to be slim pickings now. Keep an eye out here and on Facebook for last minute opportunities, and get on the mailing lists for the main charities ready for next year.

X Wife & I will be first time Shelterers too this year. I sent off an email to Shelter last week asking for any hints of when we’ll start to get some details through from Avalon Bars, but no reply yet. I don’t know if there are any social groups! 🤷🏻♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leyrulion Posted April 23, 2023 Report Share Posted April 23, 2023 Updated the spreadsheet today. Oxfam likely from Weds 26th April. Otherwise two bars are recruiting and still not heard from attitude is everything. Most of everything else is shut as far as I know. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Mp4ZMpJcffuwNSJBKKnEmfsdttyl0-kmpOHcPWVRD5E/edit?usp=drivesdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2019 I got a place 10 days before the start of the festival. Got to get on it now and I’d advise your mates to read through this thread. Loads of good advice in it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
