I Volunteered for ActionAid last summer and I bloomin' loved it! 

I’ve been a regular festival goer for a number of years now, but going out with Actionaid last summer took the enjoyment to a new level.

It gave me the opportunity to meet and talk with new people about numerous awareness topics, explaining to people how somebody can make a difference through voice and petition and not necessarily through money.

The Actionaid team itself is full of enthusiastic fun-loving people, many of whom I now stay in contact with regularly.

There’s a lot of effort put in behind the scenes too - there is an enormous sense of achievement for all once a festival weekend is over - and an enormous hangover.


I would say Actionaids' Bollocks to Poverty is probably the only Campaign which enables festival goers to discuss a wide range of topical issues while playing giant jenga. And it works.
 
I'll be back again in the summer - so should you! x
