23 of the UK’s leading independent and grass roots festival organisers have all come together with the aim of raising much needed funds and awareness for refugees in Northern France.
The festivals, which include Beatherder, Bestival, Beautiful Days, BoomTown Fair, Camp Bestival, Dimensions, Green Man, Kendal Calling, Love Saves the Day, Larmer Tree, Outlook, Secret Garden Party, Shambala, WOMAD, and many more, have all offered up a pair of festival tickets for the Ultimate Festival Prize Draw offering 23 lucky entrants the chance to win a pair of tickets to one of these incredible festivals for a donation towards the cause.
The funds raised will go towards projects helping to keep refugees safe and warm with Grand Synthe project.
Where the team have been supporting ‘Medecins Sans Frontieres’ (MSF) and other volunteers to help keep thousands of refugees alive through the winter months in one of the worst camps in the region due to restrictions placed on them by the authorities, many are struggling to meet even the most basic needs.
Since the beginning of this crisis, people from within the festival community have been pulling together in many ways to help as much as they can; setting up charitable projects, holding fundraising events, actively engaging their vast networks and individuals heading out to help on the ground by building shelters or volunteering; a significant difference has already been made but the hope is that collectively, so much more can be achieved.
The fundraiser will run until May 4 when entrants will be picked at random and emailed directly. The prize is one pair of tickets to one randomly selected festival per winner.
