Funding and Support for the 2005 Festival

Rather than applying endlessly for grants and funding our aim for 2005 is to become financially sustainable. Conway Hall costs £2000 to hire which we have paid for with the money taken at the door and from the stalls last year. This year we have some fund raising events planned where we intend to sell raw food, badges, t-shirts, books, brick a brac etc and play games and generally fun–raise, so come along and say hello at the following:
• 5th June at Camden Green Fair Regents Park
• 9th July at Somers town Festival, Phoenix Rd, NW1
• 20-24 July at The Funky Raw Festival, Cornwall
• 3rd – 7th August at the Big Green Gathering

We hope to raise enough money to pay for stewards t-shirts, volunteer expenses, admin costs etc.
A big THANK YOU to  Ethical Juicers who in June 2005 offered to sponsor us the amount of £250 which we will use to pay towards the p.a. system so now taping the talks on the day becomes a reality!
We would like to keep the momentum going after the festival and find a base preferably in Camden where we could hold raw food and various other workshops, music, dance, all the things in the festival but spread out over a longer time span. We have a volunteer working on raising the initial funds for this. If anyone else would like to help with fund raising or knows of any suitable properties with a cheep rent let us know.
