FAQs

As we have done for previous WINGS events, for international units we can buddy you up with UK units who can help support you with the equipment you need. This has worked well not only from an equipment point of view, but also in forging relationships ahead of the event – many units have maintained long-term relationships and gone on to host further camps together.

Once your unit books through our online booking system, you will receive an email with login details and your unit will be booked onto WINGS2020. Within 2 weeks of registration you will receive an invoice for the non-refundable deposit of £150. 

The booking system enables you to add participants and leaders against your unit's attendance. It also enables you to manage their health and activity forms (as well as participants and parents being able to manage this individually too).

The information provided in the system can be used by you while onsite and will be used by relevant WINGS2020 volunteers to safely and effectively deliver WINGS2020.

When we reach capacity through the online bookings, we will start to create a waiting list and where space becomes available we will contact units on a first come first served basis.

During WINGS 2020 we will provide your unit with the ingredients for breakfast, lunch and dinner over the 7 days.

Our professional Head of Food has an in-depth understanding of catering for people with allergies. During the event we’ll have all the 14 major food allergens covered (which accounts for 90% of food allergic reactions) in the menu.

The registration system will provide you the opportunity to make us aware of food allergies within your unit (based on the participant).

Our food and catering team are designing menus to best manage and minimise food waste for example designing menus that have the capability to utilise surplus food. We are also working with local food banks and charities in Berkshire who will be able to use any food waste that is produced. In addition, all our disposables will be made from plant-based materials and will be fully compostable.

We want to deliver an environmentally responsible camp. As a result we will be working to minimise the miles your food has to travel, providing you with fresh food with a smaller carbon footprint.
