This year’s Glastonbury raised £5.9m for charitable causes. The Somerset festival donated £2m to the NHS Somerset charity and £126,000 to support NHS hospitals in Bristol and nursing staff across the country.
The music festival also continued to support its partners Oxfam, WaterAid and Greenpeace, and made additional donations to War Child, UNHCR and other charities to fund work in what a statement from the organisers called “some of the world’s most challenging places”.
