I am one of the Directors of Home Education Festivals, the company which runs HEFF, and most of the time act as chair for board meetings. At events I am the person responsible for coordinating everything to do with the site and infrastructure, and as such also for Health and Safety.

I want to help make the HEFF experience even better than it already is. My main role is being a voice for the young people at HEFF and helping to run the Festival.

Hi, I’m Ed and I’ve volunteered as a director for quite a few years now. I work in IT so for HEFF I manage the technical side of the website, shop, emails and other tools but as with most people on the board I get involved in pretty much everything else as well.

I’m Ally I’ve been a director since 2022. Like all the directors I am involved across a lot of areas.

My main roles just now are working with our new key volunteers, bookings and offering more opportunities for our teens and young adults to get involved in the festival.

As an ex youth worker I am passionate getting young people more involved in the running in the festival.

Hi there, I’m Ian T and I’m your volunteer co-ordinator and helping to co-ordinate workshops for HEFF.

That means if you volunteer (which is awesome to do btw) I will help you have an awesome time, while you give back to the festival (and also get cheaper tickets).

If you’re interested in joining Team HEFF please visit our volunteering page here.

Oh and if you love Eurovision, Ultimate Frisbee and/or Frozen then we can chat about those topics for hours!

Bridget can normally be found behind the camera rather than in front of it, but we managed to find this photo so you can see who she is. Bridget took just about all of the photos used on this website. You’ll find her cycling all over the festival taking photographs of the activities.

I help to organise the workshops at HEFF. It’s a big job but making sure we have a varied and interesting choice of things to do at the festival is fun and rewarding.
