This is a post about volunteering in 2024. Sorry to hear about your experience but I’m not sure what the rants here are solving - it would be much more effective through the official channels. Aside from that, this thread and the ones from previous years have always been positive, polite and helpful so please let’s not let it decend into bickering. Thank you. 

Where did it all go Wrong then  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Please feel free to start your own thread if it's a topic you wish to discuss about Oxfams operations and complaints about them.

This one is for sharing of opportunities for volunteering or highlighting work opportunities at this year's Glastonbury.

The last few pages have derailed the whole flow of this topic. 

People with disabilities are Beautiful people, no matter your flow.

Are you ok? It seems like it's turned into you ranting rather than a thread primarily containing useful information for volunteers.

It's a bit tiresome mate. The weird ranting.

Hey, does anyone know if there will be an official resale of Oxfam Glastonbury steward places? I know Oxfam generally put places back onto the website sporadically but it feels like they're holding them back currently? Cheers

Seems the most likely thing that there’s another drop after the resale .

Hope it's not just for volunteers, looking likely I will be onsite working pre-show too, so may pop along.

All crew whether volunteer or not.

The more the merrier!

I am hoping that @dondo will carry on as he did such a great job last year.

Yes plan is to have a Monday night Tow and Hitch meet again for whoever from efests is on site on the Monday. I'll post more details closer to the festival and have also set up a WhatsApp group in the past.

Nice one, will find out in next few weeks if and when will.l be onsite.

First one I will have worked since 2005.. we all know how that one went 👀

I could cope with another 2005. Another 2016 or 2007 would probably finish me off

1997 was my worst, 2 weeks knee deep in mud, left most my clothes there

That would definitely finish me off! Probably mean me doing my shifts and bugger all else

I am in a terrible shape for my early 60s!

I can still do an 8 hour manic bar shift at our local Blackberry Fair for charity. 
 

I would not even consider doing clear up crew as I’d imagine that’s a totally different ball game, even without seeing the job description 

Im sure that LightChance will be fine with the shifts if she does a bit of prep work and doesn’t stay in The Temple until 6am

you wouldn't, well perhaps you would believe some of the stuff people just leave for you to pick up.  From used sanitary products, used condoms, needles, bottles and things full of piss and sh*t.

I enjoyed after shifts but wont go for them as standard.  For some reason they are also 5 days this years instead of 4 on recycling crew.
