Terms and Conditions
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION BEFORE FILLING IN THE APPLICATION FORM
This agreement is binding in honour only, and it is not intended by us or you to create any employment relationship or be a legally binding contract between us. It may be cancelled at any time at the discretion of us or you.
Organisations like Cedarwood Festival have a duty to safely recruit volunteers, especially since many will be in contact with children, youth and vulnerable adults. As a result we have to ask you to answer the questions within this PAAM system as best you can.
Volunteers play a very important part of Cedarwood Festival and we truly appreciate you considering volunteering. We want you to enjoy your volunteering experience and we look forward to you joining us.
Becoming a member of the volunteer team (also known as the Cedarwood Tribe) is a great way to meet new people and make some great new friends. It is a wonderful opportunity to serve God and get a more in depth view of how Cedarwood Festival is run.

VOLUNTEER TICKETS
The discounted cost for a volunteer ticket is £50 (half the price of a full adult ticket).
Once your application to volunteer is accepted you'll be asked to pay through this online system (known as PAAM) so please don’t purchase any delegate tickets for yourself through the main Cedarwood Festival website.
Being part of the Tribe is a great way to serve and experience Cedarwood Festival from behind the scenes, as well as being an amazing way to make new friends from far and wide.
If you have any questions, please get in touch at volunteer@cedarwoodfestival.com
We can’t wait to welcome you in as part of the tribe!
