Why become a monthly donor?
Your monthly support helps to cover the essential, year-round costs that keep the festival thriving — long before a single walk, workshop or talk appears in the programme. This includes:
• Festival coordination and planning
Confirming event partners, managing schedules, supporting community organisations, and shaping an inclusive programme.
• Website hosting and development
Keeping our events platform running, updating listings, improving accessibility, and giving our contributors a place to shine.
• Accounting, compliance and CIC responsibilities
As a not-for-profit, we must maintain transparent financial systems and reporting so we can continue applying for grants and funding.
• Funding applications and partnership building
Writing bids, meeting partners, and developing relationships with organisations who share our mission — work that happens year-round and rarely has funding attached.
• Support for minority groups and under-represented communities
Monthly gifts ensure we can run events with groups who need accessible, culturally sensitive or hyper-local programming, whether or not that work has external funding attached.
• Student placements & satellite cities
Training young people, supporting local organisers, and growing the festival's reach across the UK all depend on year-round capacity.
In short:
Your monthly donation keeps the festival alive between festivals.
