Good Causes

As well as being one of the most spectacular events on earth, Glastonbury Festival retains its ethos as a positive force for change both locally and internationally.

Following Glastonbury Festival 2002 a total of over £1 Million will be paid to charities, causes and local groups.

This represents either donations or payment for work done at the festival by volunteers from that organisation. In round terms, in 2002, £1m will represent 10% of festival turnover (less VAT) - not of profits! More detail about these payments can be obtained from the Festival Office.
