Truck is committed to promoting, supporting and engaging with the local community of Steventon and the wider Oxfordshire area. Each year, Truck provides training and work opportunities for those wishing to get some hands-on festival experience, whilst raising funds and supporting local charities in the area
Truck has been raising vital funds for charities since its humble beginnings. Since 2014, the festival has raised £880,000. In 2022, The Truck Trust was established; born out of a desire to expand our support and give back to the surrounding communities of the Festival, which is at the very heart of our ethos.
Each year, Truck raises funds for the trust. Our team then reviews applications for funding and confirms their one off donations for that year, whilst continuing to work with our long-term recipients.
The trust provides grants for projects and organisations that provide opportunities and activities which sit within our four key pillars:
Our Local Community
A local project or organisation that enhances, educates or supports the lives of the local communities surrounding Hill Farm.
Our Future Generations
Organisations or individuals with projects that uplift and engage with young people who would like to gain an insight into the events industry or wish to showcase their creative talent at the festival
People and the Planet
Organisations or individuals that are involved in improving, raising awareness or supporting societal issues such as (but not limited to) the environment, homelessness, physical and mental health.
Oxfordshire’s Arts and Culture
Organisations or individuals that are heavily involved with and promote the rich art and cultural history of Oxfordshire.
Typically, the Trust can support with donations of approximately £500 – £1000 towards your fundraising target, this varies on a case by case basis. It is important for us to understand how a potential donation will be spent, so that we can assess the level of investment we can commit to.
Truck trust funds are distributed to successful applicants in the Autumn.
Applications for 2025 funding will be open in the new year. To sign up to be the first to know, click here.
