The Festival Angels Mission Statement:
Who: Volunteers drawn chiefly from the breadth of the Christian Church, working alongside and without prejudice, with those of any or no faith regardless of age, gender, disability, ethnicity or sexual orientation.
What: Seek to celebrate and promote a Christian presence by offering an exemplary service of care for the practical, emotional and spiritual needs of festival goers, staff and other volunteers. Provide safe spaces for others to share, explore and pray and respond to questions which may present opportunity to share something of our own faith journeys as they explore theirs.
Why: Following the example of Christ who cared and accepted without judgement, and responded to the diverse physical, practical and spiritual needs of all those before him.

Some feedback from Leeds Festival Angels volunteers:
"It was a wonderful experience for , it was humbling & a privilege supporting those at the Festival as well as my fellow Angels. I felt as an Angel we got looked after extremely well too. I do think the role of the Angels is so important. Those youngsters at the Festival really needed those drinks, at night they were warm and comforting and in a morning they were dehydrating. Looking forward to being an Angel next year"
"Thank you for a wonderful experience. This year was far more challenging but also felt like I was doing something very meaningful."
