Brockley Max stll needs your help! “We need volunteers .. we rely on having 80-90 volunteers each year to make the festival a success,” says Moira Tait, Brockley Max organiser.
“The festival just wouldn’t happen without them. There’s lots to do … we need programme sellers, raffle ticket sellers, stewards at events, drivers, team leaders, photographers … you name it …”
“If you have time come and join us. Contact our volunteer organiser Emma at volunteer@brockleymax.co.uk ”
“It’s fun …and you are contributing to a worthwhile community project.”
Brockley Max has never been a commercial festival. “All our income is used to cover costs and keep the event going the following year,” adds Moira.
“We ‘ve always aimed to keep as many events as possible free to ensure it is accessible to as many local people as possible.”
Brockley Max also need lots of local residents to put up estate agent boards in their front gardens for local estate agents Bryan & Keegan, who are big supporters of the festival.
