BPEC has been involved with the Glastonbury Festival since the mid-1980s. We raise funds by running property lock-ups and providing transport [0] to and from the the festival. Each year we take volunteers to the festival and run the excellent coach service [0] direct to the festival from Brighton. We hope to raise about £8000 each year which helps fund the Centre in its various projects. In 2004, the total funds raised came to £6,580 and in 2005 it was approximately £7,000.
BPEC's has a designated camping space in a secure area, with communal catering providing low-cost breakfast, lunch and dinner. Each volunteer works approximately 28 hours on lock-ups and 2-3 hours on camp duties. In return for their efforts volunteer workers receive free entry to the festival. They should be available on or before the Tuesday of Glastonbury week, and should be willing to stay until the Monday afternoon. undefined: undefinedAll current BPEC volunteers are invited to apply, but interest is extremely high and therefore we can only offer about 45 places.
