About Festival Spirit
Festival Spirit is a charity providing the full festival experience to young people who would not normally be able to enjoy one due to life-limiting illness or disability, our VIPs.
We are passionate about helping people who never thought they could attend a festival to enjoy the experience safe in the knowledge that they will have the facilities, support and back up necessary for their condition. Carers are hand-picked to match the needs of our attendees (our VIP's) needs from straightforward feeding and showering to more complex routines. Our accommodation on site is in an amazing specially adapted tent with hard flooring and close to disabled facilities such as showers and toilets. Able-bodied "buddies" are matched up to VIP's to help them get around the festival site and to get the most out of the event, to see the bands they want to see and to attend all the other exciting activities on offer. |

A big thank you to all the members and supporters at Radley Golf Club www.radleygolf.org/ who raised over £2,000 for us. This means so much to us and will pay for our wonderful tent to go to a festival and be kitted out for our VIP's.
