As a local, independent business, we’re proud to give back to the local area by launching the Lazydays Foundation. Our charitable arm collects donations from the Lazydays community to support local community initiatives and projects.
The Lazydays Foundation
Official 2026 Charity Partner
Every year, Lazydays Festival commits to making a real difference by teaming up with an inspiring Charity Partner.
In 2026, we’ve partnered with Trust Links Westcliff, improving the mental health and wellbeing of residents, and it is Lazydays’ closest charity neighbour.
As a local independent charity they improve mental health, wellbeing and the environment across Essex. They offer therapeutic gardening, recovery classes, social activities, employment training, environmental workshops and more.
Trust Links Westcliff transformed a one-acre former overgrown dumping ground that’s been turned into a productive growing area for fruit and vegetables, a beautiful flower garden, wildlife area, and a hub for courses, workshops and support. The site also features chickens and beehives.
