Seven hundred WaterAid volunteers kept the festival’s loos in working order. One rubber-gloved hero shares her highs and lows
WaterAid has been working with Glastonbury since 1994 to do the very important job of keeping the festival’s toilets clean. That was the first year I attended the festival; I’ve been back many times, and this is my second year running working as a WaterAid volunteer on the loo crew. The charity’s work at the festival also raises awareness of the lack of access for many to basic sanitation: more than one in five people across the world don’t have access to decent toilets. Being here changes the way you think about these things we take for granted. I am glad to pull on a pair of rubber gloves and give something back to the festival.
