Glastonbury WC News blog

Welcome to WaterAid's WC News blog!

Hurray! A hot, sunny weekend at Glastonbury, what a treat!

Our presence at the festival is a great opportunity to talk to lots of different people about our work, and this year didn't disappoint with over 14,000 petitions signed calling on Gordon Brown to be a sanitation champion and counting. MP Nick Clegg, Leader of the Lib Dems, even stopped by to add his name.

From welly shies and tug o' wars to sack races and space hoppers, there was much fun to be had on Saturday when WaterAid held a fete-themed day backstage which included fantastic performances from Tinariwen, Baaba Maal and Emmy the Great. We also met a host of stars who gave us their support including VV Brown, Paulo Nutini, Jo Wiley and Maximo Park.
