Festival volunteering

Refugee Youth Project has previously sent volunteers to Glastonbury and other summer festivals to pull pints for the Workers Beer Company. Volunteers get a free ticket to the festival and their wages go to Refugee Youth Project. It is lots of fun, and Refugee Youth Project is planning to have a similar presence at festivals in 2011. Contact us at volunteering@refugeeyouthproject.org.uk if you'd like to get involved.
