Ciren Scene Magazine - Supporting Local Businesses The Phoenix Festival Launches Fundraising Campaign


The Phoenix Festival organisers are asking everyone who has attended and has yet to attend this two-day free-to-enter community event to make a donation to its Just Giving page and help the Phoenix soar again this summer!


Glen Moreman Festival Manager said: “We’re acutely aware, we are all in difficult times and organisers of any event are undoubtedly under some strain. We are however, still tentatively planning to go ahead this summer but because 2020 was cancelled, due to Covid-19, we have lost a huge chunk of our funding and are now in a critical position.”


The Festival costs around £50,000 to stage all of which is raised by a small volunteer commit- tee through grants, sponsorship, concessions and donations. Some financial and in-kind sup- port is provided by the Cirencester Community Development Trust, Cirencester Town Council and Cotswold District Council and some local businesses too but this year there is a £15,000 shortfall.


Glen Moreman adds “Since the 2019 fes- tival we have not been able to com- plete any fundrais- ing, as there have been far more im- portant things going on in the world. So


we now find ourselves faced with a shortfall of approximately £15,000 that we need to raise. If everyone who likes our social media pages and who’s been to the festival donated just £2 each then we would achieve our goal easily, we know times are tough, but this is the reality.”
