Roles
We cover a range of services at festivals, from keeping festival goers hydrated with refills, our very own Good Loos and helping keep the festival clean for everyone.
Glastonbury has a wider set of roles, some of which are available only at Glastonbury.
Our Good Loos provide festivals with a unique toilet experience, bringing environmentally friendly, sustainable and memorable toilets with a chill out and engagement area. Volunteers will be keeping these composting toilets clean between uses, engaging with festivalgoers about WaterAid’s work, and taking donations from those who use the loos.
Our brilliant Litter Pickers help keep festivals clean and tidy, ensuring that as much waste as possible is sent for recycling and making the festival a cleaner and greener place for everyone.
Our wonderful team of eco shower cleaners move between shower blocks, cleaning and tidying the showers to ensure they are ready for the next person to use. We will also have a team of attendants who will ensure the changing rooms are kept tidy and look after a WaterAid engagement area giving festival goers more information about our work.
