Greenpeace have taken “a big financial hit” following Glastonbury’s cancellations
Glastonbury‘s 2020 and 2021 editions were both cancelled as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.This year’s Worthy Farm festival would’ve been taking place this weekend, but the event was cancelled for the second year running back in January due to the global health crisis.Speaking to BBC News, Greenpeace events manager Bob Wilson said that Glastonbury’s two enforced fallow years had adversely impacted on the charity’s regular income.Glastonbury founder Michael Eavis is one of Greenpeace’s biggest supporters, often donating up to £500,000 after each festival.“That single donation makes up quite a big chunk of our annual income, so only having one Glastonbury festival in the last four years has been a big financial hit for us,” Wilson
