LOVEWORKS HOME PAGE

Loveworks has 15 years of experience in the events industry, providing a number of services to major events like Big Day Out, Parklife and Field Day, as well as camping and overnight festivals like The Great Escape, Global Carnival and Peats Ridge Festival.

Our extensive use of volunteers under experienced coordinators means our services are affordable and professional. We aim to create win-win situations, where Loveworks is an enjoyable and valuable experience for patrons, organisers and crew. We understand that events are looking for event-savvy services that are easy to work with, reliable and economical

We specialise in 6 main categories of service, although we love creating something new and different! Many of these services can be combined within a larger space to create village feels. We can give our services at your event a unique look as well.

Community or non-profit events may apply for a fee reduction or sometimes even free services.

We also network with trades colleges and TAFE colleges for advanced students and teachers in the building trades. We also look for leadership skills and events experience. Site Construction	We have a number of Support Services including Lovesavers and The Pink Room. We believe the safety, well-being and support services to your patrons is paramount. These services should be welcoming and open-minded so patrons seek help when they need it. Names should not be required (and aren't by law!) We also believe in prevention and on-site rehabilitation whenever possible, reducing police and medical statistics, and improving public perception of the event. We specialise in handling aggressive and difficult drug and alcohol intoxication and our experienced nurses and drug and alcohol workers can provide extensive one-on-one comfort and care to all concerned.

We focus on wholesome and organic ingredients, and delicious, nourishing meals and snacks for meat eaters and vegetarians alike. We can run this in a takeaway and/or cafe format. We order the food from our wholesale suppliers and coordinate everything from site requirements and equipment hire to meal tickets and pack-down. And we provide all minor equipment like pots, pans, and utensils. Crew Catering	Massage and Psychic Readers are our most popular services! People at today's music events love a massage and an insightful reading. Loveworks can provide from 4 - 60 massage tables with a centralised bookings and ticket sales desk for your event.

We all know how important a smoothly running gate and entry is. Our volunteer ticketing crew can help with wrist-banding, checking names on lists, checking wristbands at various entries and more. They can also act as runners from the gate to the site office and other facilities. And with an experienced coordinator our volunteers can form your entire ticketing team. Ticketing and Gate Monitors	Site Maintenance team leaders and volunteers have the skills needed to fix most problems and maintain your site during the event. They can also keep the site clean and tidy - ready for the recycling crew. As well as doing regular patrols, teams can be on stand-by for urgent matters. Site Maintenance	Lovesavers are our friendly, low-key First Aid, Drug and Alcohol patrols, using volunteer nurses, doctors and drug and alcohol workers. They contribute greatly to the safety and well-being of your patrons. Teams are given areas of responsibility which include the hidden, dark and hotspots of an event. Our Lovesaver Coordinator is a highly qualified social worker/administrator with 20 years of drug, alcohol and mental health experience. She ensures this services is effective and professional. Lovesavers are about anticipating, finding and preventing problems before they become a serious incident. They can radio back to their coordinator, who can contact first aid, security or the site office as needed. They carry mini first aid kits, and give away simple things like bandaids and free sprays of sunscreen and sunburn spray. Lovesavers First Aid Patrols	We have a very experienced coordinator and display and point of sale materials for your General Store. She will set it up, supervise it during the festival, pack up, and provide a detailed stocktake and accounting. We have a huge range of stock from our wholesalers, and take back what doesn't sell, so you're not left with stock you can't return. This frees up your capital for other important projects. All retail volunteers provide 3 work references which are thoroughly checked out before they can handle stock or money. General Store	Loveworks can coordinate your festival-run cafe. This can be an effective income generator for your event.

Parking and Traffic Control	Showers and Toilets at events can be a real nightmare! They are usually the single biggest cause of public complaints and serious health risks. We can provide a volunteer crew to regularly check and maintain this important facility. Shower and Toilet Maintenance	The Pink Room is our latest project, trialled very successfully at Sydney's Big Day Out 2007 and Peats Ridge Festival 2006. It's about making support services user-friendly and appealing and meeting the needs of today's partying youth. The Pink Room is an appealing, relaxed-looking space which serves as a first aid waiting and recovery room, and incorporates a private space to deal with difficult, distressed, intoxicated and/or drug affected cases.

Alternatively we can provide volunteers with black or truck licenses to drive your vehicles. Transport (Deliveries and Pickups)	Camp Site Maintenance volunteer crews can meet and greet campers, make sure they're in the right campsite, ensure they're not taking up too much room, keep the campsite clean, report excessive noise or irresponsible behaviour, and man a campsite station for complaints and other issues. Camp Site Maintenance	We believe the Information Stand is the hub of a festival. It's the first point of call for most people with problems, it can sell programs and merchandising, and be a valuable source of information for first aid, security and organisers. You need event-savvy, experienced crew on an Information Stand. Loveworks can provide an experienced coordinator and volunteer crew for this important facility. Our coordinator will work with you to make sure we have all the information, documents and tools we need. We can also include a Message Board for patrons, and look after Lost Property.

Community buses are an inexpensive way for non-profit and community events to transport artists, workers, patrons and volunteers. Community Bus Drivers	We have a number of qualified tradesmen in our volunteer database. We also network with TAFE and other colleges to find 3rd and 4th year apprentice volunteers. Often their teachers will volunteer as well, as this provides valuable work experience. Electricals, Plumbing, Carpentry etc	Crew Care is a valuable add-on to improve morale and productivity.

Fees for our Crew Care start at $100 a day. Crew Care	Good program sales are important for many reasons. Patrons need to know what's on where and when, where important facilities are, and who your sponsors are. The last thing you want is to be stuck which 100's programs which didn't sell. Why not let one of our coordinators create a Program Stand, or use our Roving Vendors for program sales? Or sell programs at entrances to areas, your information stand, and so on. If our volunteers are handling valuable stock or money, we check 3 work references. And of course all our volunteers sign a contract with their full name and address. Program Sales	A Chai Tent is a well-known facility at many major festivals, It provides a place to relax, and often includes live music (plugged, unplugged or chill dj's). You can also incorporate other Loveworks services like a Book and Games Library, Child Play Area, Baby Change and Feeding Area, Cafe or Coffee Stand, as well as a range of yummy cakes, slices and muffins.

They can monitor no-go areas, they can keep an eye on trouble-spots and act as extra eyes for security, they can assist in crowded areas like the mosh with water, they can act as walking information stands and more. And they're competent teams to have on call. You can often reduce the number of security officers required for your event by your local police department by increasing your Crowd Safe crew. We use responsible volunteers for this important service and train them well. Crowd Safe
