I have disabilities and need to sit down at times and I use a crutch. Oxfam couldn't have been more helpful, placing me in a safe space (Ped gate A inside the barriers) where I could carry out my job and really feel part of the team at the same time. I had to provide medical evidence, but I honestly felt so included and supported. My supervisors were all helpful, checking in with me regularly. I did sometimes feel bad that I always had some shade because of where I was placed while other volunteers were battling through in the sun, but definitely on my team the supervisors were excellent at rotating people regularly.

Yay!! Winner winner!! That's 1 punter ticket back in the pot. I'm so excited 🤩

Good luck everyone trying for a volunteer spot later today! See you in the fields ❤️

You're on your feet for the best part of most shifts but you you get 2 days out of 5 free to explore. My mindset is that I go to volunteer, and any sets I get to see is a bonus. I got lucky with a ticket this year but will still try to get a place with Oxfam and return my ticket if I get lucky. Shifts are a big part of the fun for me.

https://octopus.energy/l/glastonbury-competition/ Last chance to win 2 tickets & £900 spending money. You have to be an Octopus customer and think of a name for their wind turbine at Pilton. Good luck everyone still trying xx

Congratulations!! Sounds like a perfect rota!

Those of you with several people trying... What do you do when it comes to payment if a stranger is trying for you? Trust them with your every last penny marked for Pilton or try & log in at the same time to see the payment page? Or get them to pay & pay them back? Dilemma!

I feel your pain. You're not alone xx

I think quite a few people are already on to the next page & refresh on the hour & half hour so they get straight through. With ApplePay payment is pretty much immediate. I got on to the next page & like a dumba55 I clicked back instead of refresh so am back to 'select your Festival' drop down. I've taken 4 days off work to dedicate myself to this... ended up in Pilton while my wing girl refreshed for me as I was driving. Ate in The Crown & it was lush! The Pilton land is looking beautiful... if a little soggy!

Has anyone heard back from Event Master yet about bar work for Arcadia or Shangri-la?

I've had a search and can't find an answer to this but apologies if it's already been answered: Do you have to refresh page on the Oxfam site for new availability to show, or can you just toggle between the 'select your festival' and the drop down list of festivals available?

I have googlepay. Surely that's the same speed?

I've been constantly refreshing every 10 seconds for an hour. A place became available but was 'sold out' by the time I'd clicked on the terms boxes. What on earth are people using to not only 'proceed' but to add all payment details in less than 1 second? I could cry 🥺

I'm also interested. If anyone wants to earn cider tokens!

Sold out already. Got through. Payment page said 'Sorry...' etc Was in bang on 11am. Had payment all ready to paste if Google pay wasn't an option. Can't believe it went in less than 10 seconds?

11am. Their page just updated.

Anyone else already page refreshing?! I'd like to hope that it's an early one. I've even got the day off to be able to monitor 🤞❤️ Good luck everyone.

I feel I need to know more about 'the angry chef' 🤣

Thanks for your answer! I'm registered with Oxfam, and would happily volunteer with them. They have been hugely helpful in the application process. Just need a space to become available!

I've applied for Greenpeace volunteering (I know, 5 shifts, 8 hours, must be crazy!) Has anyone else been through their volunteering application and has disabilities? I ask because there was nowhere on the form for detailing what disability requirements I might have, apart from a selection of 6 different things. There was nowhere mentioning PAs nor medical need. Their FAQ section just says they are inclusive, but not what could / couldn't be accommodated. I need a PA and have limitations on the time of day I would be able to work (I can do the amount time they need, just not late into the night) due to the medication I need to take. I did mention briefly in the 'other' free writing box, but am left wondering if the lack of information is because they aren't too flexible? I do have the accessibility volunteering application form so can go through them if need be. I'd be interested to hear from any other Greenpeace specific disabled volunteers or anyone with insight.
