In 2013 the Oxfam Stewarding Team is celebrating its 20th year at UK festivals. They are recruiting stewards for 20 fantastic events, including Glastonbury, Download, Latitude, WOMAD, Bestival, Camp Bestival, BoomTown Fair, Shambala, Beautiful Days, Reading, Leeds, Tramlines, Carfest, Boardmasters, NASS, Freeze, Nozstock and Symmetry.
Here is what some Oxfam stewards have said about their experiences:
"Stewarding is a hugely enjoyable and rewarding experience. It's a fantastic way to gain a new set of skills, as well as raising money for a great cause, meeting a new and diverse bunch of people and catching some amazing live music!"To apply and for more information, head to www.oxfam.org.uk/stewarding, or call 0300 200 1266 for more information.
"It's a great way to give something back to the festival scene, make some money for Oxfam, and meet loads of lovely people."
"Stewarding is the way forward. Free festival tickets and fab friends; fun in the sun and raves in the rain - summer will never be the same again."
Every year volunteer stewards raise a substantial amount of money for Oxfam at festivals.
