So here it is…our final figure 🤩

This is an incredible amount and it’s all thanks to ⬇️

🤝Sponsors
🛒Donors
Securing these vital funds takes away the pressure of some of our running costs whether it’s something simple like bottled water, toilet roll, site supplies or one of our sponsor packages which helps allocate money to our staging, crowd barriers and security.

🎡🎨Traders
🍟🍺Vendors
These guys pay to attend but we keep our fees as low as possible so they don’t push prices too high. But please remember this is their livelihood so if you are paying a bit more it’s because they need to cover their costs too. They give a donation which goes straight into our final figure.

🎸Bands
They bring the crowd (you guys) which drives our ticket sales and attendance levels making the festival the party it is.

🧡Team Tango
They volunteer their time, which means we don’t have to pay out for staff and crew.

💃🏼🕺You!
By coming along, paying for a ticket, adding on a charitable donation at ticket purchase, buying merchandise and donating whilst onsite.

Without all of this, we wouldn’t reach this figure so a HUGE thanks to everyone who rides the IR train.

This money goes directly to our beneficiaries Ellie's Angels and Mentalkhealth - Sittingbourne whose work is crucial to our local community. We hope you visited them and gave them a follow. If you haven’t head over to their pages now, check out how much impact they are making and support them where you can.

As always we are grateful to Herons FC for the use of the grounds and clubhouse. They provide so many opportunities for the young people of our village and we are proud to be associated.

Please keep your eyes open for our giant cheque handover posts in the coming weeks and updates from beneficiaries.

✨Iwade Rock Fest was born from a families love of music✨

Our aim was to create a festival which is family friendly, for young people to discover live music, provide a platform for local bands, support local community projects and raise money and awareness.

Thanks for helping us accomplish this 🙌

We need to say a huge thanks to those who ventured to us and helped with the clean up we are so grateful! Sorry we didn’t catch your names but two lovely ladies and a young lad.

Special mention goes out to this incredible bunch of young people who despite wind, hot sun and a bit of rain (oh yes) did the following:-

• Litterpicked the field
• Bagged up over 30 additional bin bags
•Moved all rubbish down to the clubhouse
• Moved all big bins down to the carpark

(Half the amount shown in this picture)

Huge, huge respect to Lynette Green who picked up all the toilet rolls, discarded nappies and let’s just say mess in general inside the toilets without complaining once!!! 🙌 While I gagged and retched and couldn’t continue ☢️

Honestly, your helped halved our huge workload today.

What fantastic kids, mums (Natalie and Lynette) and community spirit!

🙏🙌🙏🙌🙏

Dearest Festival Goers

Today is the Day of the Dead ☠️ we remain onsite for the epic clear up which this morning hits a bit hard.

Big shoutout to those who helped clear rubbish last night, thank you 🙏

It looked like a someone had thrown a festival last night and then as if by magic 2500 people vanished…

If you’re passing today, walking your dog, out for fresh air to clear yours heads and fancy litter picking for us, we would be grateful 🙏

We will be back to do thank yous, shoutouts and announcements soon.

🤘🏼
