An Award Winning Festival

We’re proud to announce that our youth board members were awarded Best Social Action Project of the year at the ‘22 ‘NE Youth Projects With Pride Awards’ for their work on bringing climate-focused green music and arts festival ‘B.O.P. Fest’ to their community in August ‘22!

The judges remarked "B.O.P Fest was an excellent project really thinking outside the box! A topical project with sustainability."

It is wonderful for young people to get validation and appreciation for all their hard work putting their ambitious ideas into action to do something good in their local community.

Thank you to all those who supported their journey and to our funders of both B.O.P. Fest and Get Samba.
