Give Me Shelter 2.0

Last year Global Hand worked with the Mean Fiddler at the Reading/Leeds festival to channel surplus tents for needs around the world.

Ben piloted the initiative, GIVE ME SHELTER and it seem to lesser degree show signs of being a great way to use some of the goods.

There were many learnings to take away and build on.

The festivals were impressed with the work done and hence has now been asked to scale up for this year’s festival. Another amazing outcome of the Reading and Leeds festivals was that Global Hand was approached by Glastonbury to replicate a similar venture. However when they visited Glastonbury organisers they discovered that it was on a much larger scale, for example they are looking for roughly 50 volunteers to help before, at, and after the festivals…..wow it’s a huge challenge for such a small team, but one they are all excited about and looking forward to.
