Fundraising For Wellbeing

The Coping Festival has raised over £17,000 for charities that assist our collective wellbeing such so far. This year we're raising funds for St Ann's Hospice, Live Like Ralph & The Ben Raemers Foundation.

We partner activities that bring people together, with charities that give the activity a deep purpose & sponsors who can afford to donate time, resources & funds.

Why Join Our Community?

The Coping Festival has always been something we have built together. We have created our community on the Circle app so we can share ideas to bring about more collective wellbeing, not just at the festival but in general. It's a place to C.A.R.E (Connect, Act, Reflect & Educate).
