Report written by Sam Lefevre (he/him)
Olive and Sam started the Thursday bank holiday to a flying start!
They met outside Old Spike Roastery and said "hi" to Javier who wasn't working, but chilling and making small talk with all the passer-by.
From here, the ran from Old Spike to their starting point - Shenley Road to start flyering for Camberwell Arts Festival, which is happening on Camberwell Green on Saturday. They took a side each and came running back by Crofton Road before finishing up all 500 flyers (that they had) down Lyndhurst Grove...making their way back to Old Spike Roastery for a deserved coffee.
What a great start to the Jubilee weekend and it was a pleasure to see Olive again (we were old neighbours).
We are a volunteer led organisation that organises an 8 day Festival of arts activities throughout Camberwell. The launch day on Saturday 4 June has a huge amount of free activities for all the family, and a very small number of volunteers to do all of the tasks. The most pressing request for volunteers are: setting up (8.30 - 9am) and taking down (5.30 - 6pm) of 4 gazebos (6m x 3m) requires 6 able bodied adults. Also helping to hang out bunting and other decorations around Camberwell Green. Also setting up and taking down trestle tables at beginning and end of the day. The BIG FEAST free street party is targetting families of all Camberwell and reaching those in food poverty via food banks. We need volunteers to collect food donations (all arranged in advance) from local businesses and deliver them to Camberwell Green (between 8 - 10am). Also volunteers to help serve out food to those participating in the street party, and to help with a continuous regime of cleaning tables, bagging up rubbish, and ensuring a pleasant feast environment while allowing a continuous turnover of guests. We have other volunteer roles that can be seen https://www.camberwellarts.org.uk/caf-22-volunteering which are of specific skill/interest scope and may extend longer than the launch date of Saturday 4 June.
