Friday 22nd—Tuesday 26th August 2025 (over the August bank holiday) We’re gonna hit up a bunch of the cool northern Lake District sites (Keswick, Ennerdale, Loweswater) in the afternoons, and have attendee-submitted SIG slots in the mornings and evenings. It’s £120 if you can afford it, £60 if you can’t or if you give £100+ to an effective charity and send the receipt. Not for profit, all surplus donated to an effective charity chosen by attendees.
I want to talk to and connect with people about UK EA community building, especially what I can do to support and engage GWWC pledgers and anyone involved in undercompensated direct work in a cause-neutral, person-empowering way. I’m not at EAG (too expensive) but please come along to my thing or reach out to me on the Forum if you want a chat!
Great reasoning! If you haven’t already, would include a consideration for yourself of how much you think you would 1) contribute to others’ impact (inspiring donation %?) and 2) how much it’d improve your own (new career, new projects, new donation opportunities discovered) in the equation. These events are well-funded for generally pretty good reasons :)
The event costings for (some) EA events I’ve seen bandied about everywhere seem… really expensive. I’m extremely sure we can get cheaper things going with the right kinds of community connections and skillsets to draw on. And I say that as someone with event-runner experience.
I’m running a Lake District EA summer holiday this year!

You can get a subsidized free ticket if you apply for it :-)
I did the maths and that cancels out half my donations for the whole year :(

It’d work out at a lower event costing, I reckon! But not at this one, assuming extrapolation from previous EAGs.
Don’t worry I’ll just go to other stuff. Heck, I will run other stuff. And I will turn up when it’s cost-effective!
