Does anyone fancy stewarding at music festivals for Oxfam?

They are still looking for stewards to help at some of the big summer festivals. It's a great way to attend festivals for free, get free camping, showers and toilets and help a really good cause. All you have to do is complete three shifts over a period of five or six days.

You do have to pay a security deposit but this is returned as long as you complete your shifts at your chosen festivals.

Take a look at their website for further details. We are stewarding Boomtown Fair in Winchester, Hampshire this year.

Oxfam Festival Stewarding - UK music festival stewarding for charity - Oxfam GB
 
I soooooooo want to do this but OH is off to Russia at the end of the month and think the dates are going to clash :sad::sad: :sad:.......
 
You could always come without him :scared: Train down and we will look after you for the week :banana:
 
We could put our tent up, save you carrying yours on the train. Oxfam have their own secure camping/motorhome area so you would be next to us. :)
 
Hi Millie I was going to say I'm a communist so don't believe in charity but I guess that doesn't mean much to you. So I'll just ask how much the stewards are paid by the church/charities who do make the money?
 
:confused: They don't get paid anything... I think it is just free camping on offer?

If stewards do ever get paid officially it is always min wage type payments, £5 an hour.
 
Added to my favourites for future reference.........nice one!

Free camping and unpaid work. Bring your own 'home' and work for nowt. Someone is having a laugh.

I will be at a festival this weekend with Oxfam, working on their charity stall and there is no question of being paid - I wouldn't accept it even if they offered. The whole point of volunteering is to raise money for people who really need it, not us volunteers who, by global standards, have riches beyond avarice. It is enough to get free access to the festival and the free camping that goes with it.

Hi John can I just say that your post has changed my mind about middle class kids working off their guilt for free.

Very dangerous to make assumptions about the background and motives of people you don't know.
