🌿 FATT Land – Volunteer House Rules
We want everyone to feel welcome, comfortable and part of our community. To keep things running smoothly, we ask all volunteers to respect a few simple rules.
🍲 Food & Cooking
We provide basic food and ingredients, but volunteers are responsible for preparing their own meals, individually or together as a group.
🧼 Kitchen & Cleaning
Always clean up after cooking. Wash your dishes, utensils and cooking equipment, and leave the kitchen tidy for the next person.
🏡 Respect Private Spaces
FATT Land is also a family home. Please respect private areas, personal belongings and the household's routines and schedules.
🌙 Quiet Hours
Respect quiet hours, especially during the evening and early morning. Keep noise levels low around the house and sleeping areas.
🌱 Respect Nature & the Land
Keep the surroundings clean, dispose of rubbish correctly, recycle whenever possible and avoid wasting water or electricity.
🔨 Tools & Equipment
Use tools responsibly and safely. Always return equipment to its proper place and report any damage or problems.
🤝 Community Living
Be respectful, friendly and considerate towards other volunteers, residents and neighbours. Everyone should contribute to keeping shared spaces clean and organised.
🐕 Animals & Wildlife
Respect the animals living on the property and the surrounding wildlife. Please do not feed animals without permission.
💚 Communication & Responsibility
If you have any questions, problems or need help, just ask! Good communication, teamwork and mutual respect are essential.
Most importantly, enjoy your time here! We're building more than a festival — we're creating a place where people can connect, learn and grow together. 🌍
