Youth Beatz Donation Project

Youth Beatz 2024 will once again continue with the expansion of our Donation Project. Festival Attendees are invited to donate foodstuffs, toiletries, school uniform or pet care or pet food items (if they are in a position to do so). In 2023, over 1,000 items of School Uniforms and 1,950 items of food and pet food and care items were donated over the event weekend, equalling 56 crates of donated goods to 4 providers across our region.

Entry to Youth Beatz Festival continues to be free, and the event has an important role in supporting our local communities across Dumfries and Galloway. We are looking for attendees to support the Donation Project if they are able, by bringing along and donating any of the items listed below as a donation to our local food providers and community organisations. Items can be dropped off at the entrance to the Festival at the Donation Drop Off Point which will be managed by volunteers over the event weekend.

For this year, we are hoping for Donations of any of the following items:

Food Items and Toiletries:

Tinned meat/vegetables/fruit; tea/coffee; biscuits; cereal; tinned soup; pasta (dried); toiletries, baby products and rice.

School Clothing and Supplies

School Uniforms including blazers, ties, polo shirts, coats, trousers, shirts and shoes (these can be branded); school bags; stationary and any other items relevant to Primary and Secondary Schools.

Pet Care and Food Items

Dry/canned food items; adult dog and cat food; pet treats; pet beds and pet toys.

Once again, our Youth Beatz Festival will have a Period Dignity Product Stall in the Youth Information Marketplace which will supply free period products to attendees over the event weekend. In 2023 the project distributed 16,742 items.

A reminder that donation to the Youth Beatz Donation Project is not a condition of entry.
