Committee: Accessibility
Number of years volunteering: 10
The Folk festival is an amazing event. I look forward to it every year, not just for the music, but also to meet again all the amazing people that make the folk festival what it is. The moment I cross the gate, it is as if I entered a magical space – everyone are happy, committed, connected, friendly. Though I’m on my feet from dawn to dusk, I am full of energy.
In particular, the work of our committee is critical and valuable. It allows me to align my passion for creating a world free of barriers to people with disability, with my love to music. Our team is so amazing and committed to the cause, and I’m honoured to be part of this group. Each and every one of them inspire me and remind me of why it is important for us to do what we do. They all make this festival not just fun, but also accessible to everyone.
