As Sam went away to Thorlands for two hours, Zack helped out the CAF volunteers with the Big Feast as they served up a free meal to anyone who wanted or needed it. The feast was meant to last until 15:00, but the food was gone within the hour!

Camberwell Arts Festival
Camberwell Arts Festival launch day on Camberwell Green with a Big Feast, Arts Market, arts workshops etc

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.
