GIVE ME SHELTER: Your TENT could change lives...

Every year thousands of tents get dumped or trashed. But these tents could change lives in desperate situations worldwide. Together with the charity Global Hand, we're making this happen. At this year's Leeds festival, take your tent, sleeping bags and wellies to one of the collection points before you leave. And make sure you get your mates to do the same.

Your festival kit could help:

  • Give shelter for families caught up in disasters such as earthquakes, famine and conflict
  • Give children from impoverished backgrounds the chance to have fun at a summer camp
  • Give emergency staff shelter and storage space for vital medical and educational materials

Don't dump it. Don't destroy it. Donate it

IMPORTANT: NEWS ABOUT YOUR TENT!

We need you to take down your tents and hand them in. It is simply impossible for us to take down so many tents. We will, however, check all tents handed in. If they are good quality, they will be distributed to people in need, locally and in many places on the planet.

Tents left standing will go to landfill and damage our environment:
So, don’t leave your tent. Pack it. Hand it in. Change lives!
