A team of 43 Festival Angels were at Boardmasters in Newquay to offer welfare support to the 40,000 festival goers. The week started on Tuesday when some of the volunteers were on stage at CreationFest where Paul Blakey shared the story of Festival Angels with Meghann from Wildwood Kin (who played main stage at Boardmasters on Saturday) and Britains Got Talent finalist Josh Curnow prayed for the team. The detached teams then got to work on Wednesday patrolling the festival and offering support including putting up tents, helping people navigate the site, providing food for a family who had lost a bank card, collecting rubbish, signposting people to other welfare services and offering a listening ear and support to many. The 'Jesus Loves Festivals' banner became a back drop for festival selfies and the site was visited twice by the 'Jesus Loves Every 1 of U' banner plane which resulted in various positive conversations with festival-goers. Our amazing volunteers invested in excess of 1000 hours during the festival.
