Full Circle 2024 Emergency Fund

Dear friends and full circle community,

We are reaching out to share an update about our recent festival, FULL CIRCLE 2024, an event that celebrates the magic of music, family, and community. This year, we had an incredible lineup of performances, mouth-watering food vendors, and activities that promised to create unforgettable memories. However, despite all of this, we faced unexpected challenges which pushed us way over our event budget. If we combine the ticket sales and bar profits, we would have actually reached a break-even point based on our projected expenses. However, we did not foresee the costs we've incurred due to the weather conditions.

In the days leading up to the festival, the weather forecast shifted dramatically, transforming from sunny skies to persistent rain. On the day of the event, we were met with heavy rain and relentless showers. These conditions not only discouraged last-minute ticket sales but also made the festival grounds unsafe. Vehicles struggled to navigate the muddy terrain, requiring us to take urgent measures to keep the event running smoothly. These challenges led to significant financial losses, putting the organisers in a difficult situation.

Now, we turn to you, our cherished community, for support.

We have launched this GoFundMe campaign to help us bridge the financial gap created by these unforeseen weather-related issues. Your generous contributions will not only help us cover the additional costs already incurred but will fund the vital land restorations that need to take place.

Here’s how your donations will make a difference:

Cover Extra Operational Costs:

-The hire of tractors and ground protection matting to manage the muddy conditions and move vehicles on and off the site.

-The purchase of straw bales and wood chips to stabilize the festival grounds.

-The extended the rental of site equipment and addressing damages incurred during the festival.

Total arrears £3500

Restore the Festival Grounds:

Levelling the churned-up land caused by tractors and vehicles.

Seeding damaged areas to promote grass recovery.

Adding crushed stone to the upper end of the track, which has turned into mud.

Total required £1500

We truly believe in the power of community and the significance of celebrating our journeys together. Every donation, regardless of size, will be instrumental in ensuring that FULL CIRCLE can recover and thrive in the years to come. Your support means the world to us, and we are incredibly grateful for your belief in our mission.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Full Circle Organisers x
