Festival Organisers | My Cause UK

My Cause UK is a not-for-profit organisation, delivering customer-facing frontline teams in a wide range of roles across the UK Festivals industry. Working with a national network of charity partners, My Cause recruits, trains and supports volunteers from all walks of life, delivering a strong operational service to our clients, breaking down barriers of access to cultural events for volunteers all while raising money for charity.

Since 2015, we’ve donated over £300,000 to over 900 charities, helping thousands enjoy festivals in a more meaningful and affordable way. Our unique system enables each and every volunteer to nominate a cause that they have personally chosen to benefit from the time they give while volunteering at your event. This not only increases their engagement with the role, but our recruitment process ensures our team members are true fans of your event, improving each and every interaction your customers have with our front-line staff.

Volunteering with us opens the door to unforgettable friendships, incredible experiences and free entry to top UK festivals. Depending on your event, roles we are experienced in fulfilling include stewarding, customer support, campsite management, sustainability, eco-bonds, gate teams, ticket checks and wristbanding – all supporting great causes while helping festivals run safely and smoothly.

How does it work?

We offer an ethical & sustainable alternative to existing staffing providers by channeling our fees to the charities our volunteers nominate. The result? Your festival is helping a range of charities, and the staff at your event are more engaged as they know their time is making a real difference to a cause they care about.

What do we provide?

Our team are experts at delivering bespoke staffing solutions for your festival. My Cause UK can deliver any of your frontline staffing needs; from gates to campsites, eco-bonds to car-parks, and anything in-between. Our experienced teams have got you covered.

What's in it for you?

We donate a % off your fee to local and national charities – which is a fantastic news story for your festival. This approach has also led to astonishingly low drop-out rates among our on-site teams because your staff are highly engaged with the cause they are supporting whilst working at your festival.

“My Cause UK have provided our gate staff for the past seven years. We know that whenever they’re there, we are in safe hands. We also love the fact that they donate so much to so many charities. It’s a win - win for everyone involved.”

- Chris Rutherford, Director, Boomtown Fair

"Rob and the My Cause UK team have always been fantastic to work with throughout the planning and on-site delivery of our events. They are extremely well organised, professional and always go the extra mile to get the job done"
