Want To Help?
Would you like to help make sure the festival is a big success? Please consider helping in one or more of the following ways.
If you have a website, blog, Myspace etc where you could display a banner link to this site, please see our banners which come in assorted shapes and sizes. Alternatively, a simple text link would be much appreciated. Please use this url http://www.midlandsveganfestival.org.uk
Good publicity is essential if we are to attract large numbers to the festival. We have thousands of vibrant colour leaflets(small A6 size) and posters (A4 size). We need your help to distribute them! We need to flood the Midlands (and beyond!) with leaflets/posters, anywhere that there are people who may be interested - so basically anywhere at all! Your school, college, cafe, workplace, library, church, community group, health food shop etc etc. If you're able to distribute/display some, or leave some where they can be distributed(ie. health food shop), we can post some to you, so please contact us stating the number you require and your address. Alternatively, you can download the leaflet, which can be printed out up to A4 size for posters. Please copy and distribute as many as you can.
We have set up pages on various social networking sites. Why not become our friend so you can stay tuned to event updates and forward them to all your friends! Post a comment to pledge your support.

We will need lots of help on the day, in many varied ways. Everything from leafletting in the street and handing out our programmes, to clearing tables and washing up! See all the volunteer tasks below:
Setting Up Before Event (from 9am)
- arrange tables ready for stallholders
- stallholder car parking attendants
- help arriving stallholders to find their pitch & set up
- display helpful signs around venue (eg "cookery demos this way" etc)
Promotion (for 2 hour stints - 11am-1pm, 1pm-3pm or 3-5pm):
- leafletting
- holding directional placard
- handing out free food samples in the street
Upon Arrival (for 2 hour stints - 11am-1pm, 1pm-3pm or 3-5pm):
- Welcome desk - taking £1 entrance fee off all adults
- Welcome desk - handing out free event programmes
Food and Drink (for 2 hour stints - 11am-1pm, 1pm-3pm or 3-5pm):
- clearing and wiping clean the cafe tables
- free food sample stall (providing visitors with a variety of vegan samples, keeping platters topped up and distributing food donor details/recipes)
Workshop/Talk Co-Ordination
- Introducing speakers, arranging seats, helping speakers set up etc
- Help set up and clear away before and after each of the cookery demos
Other Important Tasks
- co-ordination of volunteers - keep track of who's doing what and where!
- litterpicking inside the venue & immediately outside the venue
- taking lots of photos & filming the event
- encourage visitors to complete our questionnaire/feedback form
- Event announcements on the main stage in the Civic Hall (eg "cookery demo starts in 5 mins" or "we have a lost child, could the parents of Rosie come to the welcome desk please" etc)
In order to make sure the event runs as smoothly as possible, we need to find volunteers for all the above tasks(and quite possibly more!). If you can spare 2 or 3 hours or the whole day, we would love to hear from you! Just let us know what you'd prefer to do and when. Please email Dean, our volunteer co-ordinator dean_bracher[at]yahoo.co.uk
