I think this might be the first year of this priority Vs none priority so they might have kept a few places back. You'd hope so anyway, but they don't have the best admin track record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to think it isn’t my year 😔 You’ll definitely get an Oxfam place if you are determined! Don’t give up hope yet! 2 hours ago, Funkyfairy! said: Do shelter have a quota for returners and another quota for newbies ? I think that’s it but we’ll find out on Thursday. The wording suggests that it’s full and you can go on waiting list only 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4519dennis Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 Got Shelter acknowledgment of payment which has a link to their FAQ. This confirms Bristol is the leaving point - "Avalon Bars & Events provides free coaches to and from the designated meeting spot in Bristol to the festival."

Why can't they just park at the festival like Oxfam volunteers? In my opinion, it just makes it an unattractive offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelsBeard Posted February 22, 2023 Report Share Posted February 22, 2023 I got an email today saying I’d receive a link to apply 11am on Thursday as a newbie I chased them last night so must still be spaces 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of shifts do you have to do with Shelter ? Is it bar work Fri to Sun ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says on the site not to apply if you want to go to glasto as chances are slim! Do you think it’s worth a go?✨ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think it’s worth a go?✨ Maybe not for Glastonbury this year but if you volunteer at Reading this year you are almost guaranteed a spot next year. We also cover WOMAD, Glastonbury Extravaganza and Pilton Party. I’ve been going every year since 2009 with them. I know the Pre Hospital team which I help coordinate are full and have over 70 on the reserve list.

dogeggs Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Might be a bit late for me to ask this now, since we just bagged a couple of shelter places in a bit of a blind panic - but does this work like Oxfam where you get your money back by completing your shifts? Also...is there a way to buddy-up your shifts with a partner with Shelter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
