Report written by Sam Lefevre (he/him)
Sam ran from Balfour Street co-op garden to Camberwell Green to meet Tori and Kelly (organiser of the festival) to collect food from local businesses that were giving away cakes and sweet treats for the free afternoon tea.
Firstly, Tori and Sam went to Lumberjack to collect a tray of cakes before using a shopping trolley to get cakes from Betty's Bakery, Spoloke, Grove Lane Deli and finally, FM Mankal.
The session was quick and easy. Great way to give back and engage with the community.
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.
