Thank you to all our generous donors! (07.03.2010)
Thanks to Burco, the Custom Cart Company, Cafédirect and all the other generous companies and organisations that donated goods and supplies to the Oxfam Festivals team across the 2009 festival season. Without their help, we couldn't have raised anything like as much money. Their support really is crucial. Special thanks once again to Colin at the Custom Cart Company for donating 'Buddy' to us, a custom-designed festival buggy exclusively for our own use!

A big thank you to all of our stewards from 2009 (07.10.2009)
We really appreciate all the hard work you put into stewarding with us over the summer. This year you have helped us to raise more money than ever before – together we have raised over £1,000,000 for Oxfam’s work to overcome poverty and suffering. We couldn’t have done it without you!
