Our Charities
The Soulstice Collective was built on channelling a devastating situation into a force for good, and must continue to be value-driven in all endeavours.
In July 2012, Charlie Hutton, a dear family friend to George and Jamie, tragically lost his life in a motorboat accident. George and a friend were on the boat and the RNLI saved their lives in the rescue effort and we will be forever grateful for their service. Their personal experiences subsequent to this and the wider need to raise awareness around mental health is integral to why we support Young Minds. We are devoted to ensuring the next generation receive the best support possible and have the best opportunity to start life mentally healthy.
Whatever project Soulstice sets out on, positive change will be front and centre - and the RNLI and Young Minds will forever remain the partner charities of the Festival.
For 2023, we are very excited to be partnering with Ticketpass - an ethical ticketing company that donates 50% of their booking fee to our chosen charities. This means that by simply buying a ticket, you are contributing directly to both our chosen charities. You can learn more about Ticketpass here
YOUNG MINDS
Young Minds is the UK's leading charity committed to improving the well being and mental health of children and young people. With 1 in 10 adolescents suffering from mental health problems, 80,000 children suffer from severe depression, and 1 in 12 young inflicting self-harm upon themselves; Young Minds provides them with strength and support. Donations and support help aid this worthy movement with the hope of reducing suffering and pain; helping young people see the light.
RNLI
RNLI save and protects lives at sea. Their volunteer lifeboat crews provide a 24-hour rescue service in the UK and Ireland, their seasonal lifeguards look after people on busy beaches+ their Flood Rescue Team helps those affected by flooding.
RNLI crews and lifeguards have saved over 142,200 lives since 1824 (with 558 in 2016) but they are more than just a rescue service. They influence, supervise and educate people too on how to stay safe at sea. 95% of their total income comes from donations and fundraising.
In July 2012, a dear school friend to many on this event from Whitgift, Charlie Hutton, tragically died in a motorboat accident. Ever since, we have supported the charity in many ways because of the persevering help and unbelievable support the RNLI provided to everyone involved on the day. We want to raise as much money as possible from Soulstice festival to keep the RNLI doing what they do to such high standards.
