We were thinking in the office about what we could regularly post that would be of interest to the average Festivalgoer, and having dismissed letting you know about our diets and what we most recently dreamed about, we settled on posting about cultural events we've been attending.
Each week at least one person in the week does something exciting, so this feels like a pretty good idea.
Yesterday was volunteer development team (or VDT to those in the know)… a monthly gathering of staff and a few representative volunteers where we talk about how we can develop our volunteer community. 1,600 people volunteer for Greenbelt and without these people we'd be scuppered. That being said we're pretty keen to look after our volunteer. On this month's agenda: food, showers, training and our new and improved database.
For this year's Christmas party Greenbelt staff (of which there are currently nine) all went to see La Clique at the Hippodrome, and my how we laughed!
The show is a mixture of circus sideshow and cabaret. If I say it features singing, gymnasts, hulahoops and juggling it sounds a bit dull; in reality it is anything but.
Today marks the 20th World AIDS day when people all over the world will be raising awareness of HIV and AIDS, and showing their solidarity with people living with the virus.
The theme this year is “Lead – Empower – Deliver” and Christian Aid, one of Greenbelt's main partners, is calling for faith leaders around the world to stand at the forefront of the fight against HIV.
