Report written by Sam Lefevre (he/him)
As 17:00 approached, all the stalls were still opened and selling, but one by one they started to shut up shop.
The team gathered around to take down and close all the tables and benches first. Michael had arrived just in time as Richard (the main lead for the gazebo), Sam and Zack needed an extra hand to take down all four gazebos and store them away. Yet, it turns out one of the gazebos got nicked in the process. Sad turn of events, but the storage room was so full by the end that it was probably for the best.
We finished up just before 18:30 and have a long day, we were glad to see another successful event completed.
We are a volunteer led organisation that organises an 8 day Festival of arts activities throughout Camberwell. The launch day on Saturday 4 June has a huge amount of free activities for all the family, and a very small number of volunteers to do all of the tasks. The most pressing request for volunteers are: setting up (8.30 - 9am) and taking down (5.30 - 6pm) of 4 gazebos (6m x 3m) requires 6 able bodied adults. Also helping to hang out bunting and other decorations around Camberwell Green. Also setting up and taking down trestle tables at beginning and end of the day. The BIG FEAST free street party is targetting families of all Camberwell and reaching those in food poverty via food banks. We need volunteers to collect food donations (all arranged in advance) from local businesses and deliver them to Camberwell Green (between 8 - 10am). Also volunteers to help serve out food to those participating in the street party, and to help with a continuous regime of cleaning tables, bagging up rubbish, and ensuring a pleasant feast environment while allowing a continuous turnover of guests. We have other volunteer roles that can be seen https://www.camberwellarts.org.uk/caf-22-volunteering which are of specific skill/interest scope and may extend longer than the launch date of Saturday 4 June.
