If you ever thought you'd never get to a festival,
we have one thing to say Think again, with us YOU CAN DO IT ! Festival Spirit is a charity providing the full festival experience to young people who would not normally be able to attend and enjoy such an event due to life-limiting illness or disability.
We are passionate about helping people who never thought they could attend a festival safe in the knowledge that they will have the facilities, support and back up necessary for their condition. Our accommodation on site is an amazing specially adapted marquee with hard flooring, heating and electricity and close to disabled facilities such as showers and toilets. We provide 'buddies' to assist guests and their carers to get around the festival site and to make the most of the weekend event, see bands and attend all the other exciting workshops and activities on offer. Here's a short video that explains more https://vimeo.com/282477392 Listen to members of our group at WOMAD 2018 interviewed by BCFM bcfmradio.com/wellbeing

Fundraising News
Thank you to Tony and Tina Dalgarno who celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary in July and asked for donations to festival Spirit instead of receiving presents. They managed to raise enough for us to buy tickets for two guests and their carers to a major festival. Congratulations times two Tony and Tina!
Thanks also to the lovely team at Burford Laundry who have kindly provided all of our sheets, duvet covers and pillow cases without charge. So helpful with their services too.
Massive thank you and shout out for the intrepid guys and gals from #Lombard for their 20 mile sponsored walk on behalf of #FestivalSpirit Photo at the half way stage in Abingdon - 10 more miles along the Thames back to the office for a beer or three!
