💥 TRUCK IS HEADING FOR ANOTHER SELL OUT - DON'T MISS OUT ON TICKETS 💥  /  

Charity

Charity fundraising has always been at the heart of Truck since the first festival back in 1998. Over the past seven years, we’ve helped raise over £365,000 for local, national and international charities – although for obvious reasons, the 2020 couldn’t go ahead we still managed to raise over £15,000 for local charities.

Feel Good Food Hall

Truck’s famous Feel Good Food Hall is always a huge hit! Entirely run by volunteers from the local Faringdon and District Rotary Club, it is a staple of the Festival with 10+ local charities and over 150 volunteers producing delicious, home cooked tasty meals to our hungry Truckers! Situated right next to the Main Stage serving incredible Steak Sandwiches, Smoked Salmon on toast, highly recommended Mac & Cheese or classic Tea and Scones – they have it all!

All profits go to the charities and Truck gives each stall the opportunity to raise awareness of their charity partner. In 2022 alone the Food Hall donated £100,000 to 10 local charities.
