New Trustee
Welcome to Alero Agindotan – our newest Trustee! Alero has been a part of Green Gathering for many years and comes to us with decades of charity management experience. Alero has been working as the bars and recycling manager at Green Gathering so comes to us with a thorough understanding of our event. We look forward to her bringing her intelligence and resolve to our work! Here is a picture of her lovely hound.

Thank you Tony!
Tony Phillips stepped in after the sad loss of Susan Alexander and has now stepped down after giving us 3 years. Tony ran Charity Home onsite at the Gathering for many years and will be missed. Thank you Tony for your service! The charity is getting ready to formally welcome a new trustee in May.

Wow – we won!
We won the International Greener Festival Award – that’s the top accolade in the world for sustainable events!
We also won the International Greener Power Award for demonstrating that it’s possible to run a whole festival – not only the stages but the backstage production, traders and all – using off-grid renewable sources.
We were shocked and soooooo pleased, truly honoured, to be up on stage with A Greener Festival at the Green Events and Innovations conference to receive these awards.
We live and breathe sustainable practices and to be recognised at such a level as successful grassroots pioneers is hugely, hugely heart warming; it will help energise us to keep innovating, improving and inspiring other events to ‘green up’.
Thanks to A Greener Festival for all your encouragement, and to everyone who contributes to The Green Gathering – this award is yours too.
Our pic shows Jak, Shane and Steve from OTP accepting the award and looking rightly chuffed with themselves! Huge thanks from the charity trustees to OTP and all of our crew, volunteers and festival goers x
