Thousands of pounds worth of possessions left behind by Leeds Festival revellers will be handed out to charities and homeless people in the city.
Tents, blankets, bedding and camping equipment will be redistributed to those who need it, with rising energy bills likely to leave more people freezing cold this coming winter. An army of volunteers went to the festival site, at Bramham Park, on Monday, to salvage much of what had been left behind.
Jed Aitchison runs the Library of Things in Headingley, a not-for-profit organisation which loans household items out to people unable to buy them. He helped lead a large group onto the site for the clean-up at the end of the bank holiday weekend.
