Terms of volunteering

1. Once you submit your application it will be sent for review by the team. If successful, you will be contacted with a link to pay for the £50 honesty bond. You'll then be sent more details for volunteer training and the festival itself.
2. By applying & entering your details, you are declaring that you are happy to pay the £50 honesty bond to secure your place. This is non-refundable if you drop out within 28 days of the festival, but otherwise returned to you at the end of the festival on successful completion of all your shifts/ tasks.
3. Your details will be safely secured, not handed on to third parties and only used for communication for this and future How The Light Gets In festivals.
4. As a steward, we ask that you follow all safety measures from us, the organisers, or authorities to help keep everyone safe. If these aren’t followed, you may be asked to leave, and your deposit could be withheld. If you're unwell or your presence may disrupt the event, we may ask you to step away—but your deposit won’t be affected in these cases. Stewards represent HowTheLightGetsIn, so respectful behaviour on and off shift is essential. The lead coordinator’s decisions on conduct are final. Please let your supervisor know if anything might affect your ability to work. If you’re unable to carry out your role due to misconduct or self-inflicted issues, your position and deposit may be affected.
