Venezuela Solidarity Campaign - Get Free Entry To This Years Festivals

Would you like to get free entry to festivals such as Glastonbury, Latitude, Reading and Leeds - and at the same time help raise crucial funds for the Venezuela Solidarity Campaign?

VSC will again be joining with the Worker’s Beer Company (www.workersbeer.co.uk) and will be organising volunteers at a range of festivals (see below.)

As a volunteer, you get free entry, and at those where you need to camp, you stay in a reserved 'village' with toilets and hot showers, free hot food, complimentary drinks and a subsidised bar. (You need to bring a tent and a sleeping bag). There is also free transport to some festivals from London and sometimes elsewhere.

In exchange you will work a bar shift (normally 6 hours) for which VSC will receive £6.50 per hour - funds which are crucial to enabling our solidarity campaigning throughout the year.

The rest of the day is free for you to enjoy the festival.

To register as a potential volunteer please contact Matt Willgress on vscassistant@yahoo.co.uk with the names of the festivals you would like to volunteer at, including an indication on whether you are prepared to do waiter/ess service at the festivals if necessary, and we will be back in touch.

For queries contact VSC on 0207 420 8963 or vscassistant@yahoo.co.uk . We would be grateful if you could register by Tuesday 23rd February, although if you are unable to do so before then please still e-mail in to express your interest.

Please also note as these are busy festivals you are more likely to be chosen if you are able to volunteer at more than one event.
