Umbrella Climate Emergency Action Hub is about Environment and Community action

The Umbrella Fair Organisation is transitioning to becoming a Climate Emergency Action Hub - a part of the Climate Emergency Centre (CEC) network that serves as a local venue for information and action organising on climate and social justice issues.

Umbrella is best known for our annual festival of music, art, poetry, dance, spoken word and education. We can be found throughout the year on the ground floor of the Racecourse Pavilion, running events, our two social enterprises - a plant-based cafe and the bicycle recycle project - and providing volunteering opportunities for local people.

We will be running regular events throughout the year as part of our intention to engage the local community into taking action.

Volunteers needed

We are looking for volunteers of all abilities, ages and backgrounds. For our festival we require over 300 volunteers, who cover a range of roles including: stewards, recycling team, performer hospitality, sound engineer support and many more. We are particularly looking for people with experience of management and co-ordination, practical skills like carpentry and sowing. If you are interested in community or the environment we have a role for you.
