This year Everything is Possible, with the help of our partners, recruited around 35 volunteers from the UK and abroad. They helped us to promote recycling during the festival and to salvage after the event. 12 charity organisations joined us as well to reclaim camping items for their own activities. Festival goers left thousands of pieces of camping equipment and food. Our volunteers reclaimed thousands of good quality, almost brand new camping items. Food has been passed on to St George’s Crypt which offers hope, practical support and a new start to hundreds of people every year in Yorkshire.
With the help of our partners and the local media many registered charities, local voluntary groups and NGO’s found their way to our camping equipment collection point.
Also this year much of the region’s local media such as BBC LOOK NORTH, BBC Website, YORKSHIRE EVENING POST and BBC Radio covered the event.
Finally all the good camping equipment items recycled by our volunteers found a new owner and will help many organisations carry out their daily activities.
Everything is Possible would like to thank all our volunteers, partners, local media and, of course, Festival Republic who helped us to make it happen.
