We love all our helpers, from those who support us over the weekends, to those who are involved in planning months in advance.
We ask that helpers contribute towards their food cost, site fees, and facilities on site. In return, we’ll offer you tea, coffee, and even the odd biscuit! All helpers can relax in the Helper Lounge, and top themselves up with snacks! All this, along with our heartfelt thanks and the gratitude of the thousands of participants you will be helping. Without you, the events wouldn’t be the same!
We charge a small fee of £20 per weekend to help at Strategy and Evolution, as a contribution towards your catering for the weekend.
In return, you will receive:
All helpers who sign-up and pay for Strategy or Evolution before 10th May 2026 will get a free t-shirt! When you sign-up, please select your preferred material (cotton or performance), size, and a name or nickname if you would like your t-shirt to be customised. Helpers will receive one t-shirt, whether helping for both weekends or a single weekend.
A size guide is available at the bottom of this page.
Additional t-shirts, including performance material t-shirts, will be available to purchase from the S&E Shop!
It takes hundreds of helpers to make Strategy and Evolution happen! Helpers are allocated to different teams, ranging from cafe, safety, admin, programme, site – the list is endless!
Please note: when you sign-up, you are selecting your preferred role. We are not able to allocate every helper into their preferred role, as we need to ensure that every team has enough helpers to run safely and effectively. Your allocated role will be confirmed closer to the event.
