Solidarity
We celebrate 30 editions, and we do so with the commitment to continue providing direct support to social actions promoted by NGOs and third sector entities. To submit a project, please complete the following form
We feel committed. From the very beginning, more than 25 years ago now, we have been committed to working with certain values and the people who promote or should promote these values, as well as those citizen organizations and groups that work to make them a reality.
Free accreditations donations
In the 2024 edition of Rototom Sunsplash the festival will allocate to a social project the 10 € previously donated to obtain a free pass for children under 13 years old, people over 65 and people with disabilities (over 65%).
The public included in these three groups may choose one of the following NGOs to which to direct their contribution: COCEMFE Castelló, L’AURORA-Grup de Suport, Asociación Provincial de Alzheimer Castelló-AFA Castelló and Fundación ANAR.
This is the work carried out by each of the entities and the solidarity projects that will be financed through this new collaboration with Rototom Sunsplash:
AFA Castelló, together with the Salomé Moliner Foundation, has been providing specialized care for people affected by Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias throughout the province of Castellón since 1996. It has a network of day centers and centers for the promotion of personal autonomy to improve the quality of life of patients and families.
Solidarity project: #LaFurgodeLaPineda
The collaboration of Rototom Sunsplash with AFA Castelló aims to obtain resources for the purchase of a van adapted to move from their homes and to the Day Center La Pineda de Castelló to the users. Facilitating physical access to this resource is a key to democratizing the service, favoring the reconciliation of families and optimizing the therapies performed at the center.
L’Aurora Grup de Suport has been cooperating for more than three years with NGOs rescuing lives in the Mediterranean, providing support from land – from the solidarity ports of Borriana, Benicarló, Vinaròs and Sagunt – to humanitarian rescue boats so that they can continue saving lives at sea.
Solidarity project: L’Aurora Sicilia
The entity’s objective for 2024 is to replicate its action in support of the humanitarian civilian rescue fleet in Italian ports, specifically on the island of Sicily.
COCEMFE Castellón has 35 years of experience providing professional and personalized attention to people with physical and organic disabilities and their family network in the province. A pioneer in adapted transport and with a benchmark early care service, the organization’s mission goes beyond basic assistance through a team of 50 professionals who offer comprehensive support, guidance and advice to users and families. The challenge is to improve the quality of life and defend the fundamental rights of the group, promote their integration, provide innovative and rehabilitative treatments and be the strong voice that supports inclusion in all areas of life.
Solidarity project: adapted van
The collaboration between COCEMFE Castelló and Rototom Sunsplash will contribute to the acquisition of a new adapted van for the progressive renewal of the organization’s adapted transport fleet. This service, pioneer and unique in Spain, aims to transport users, through established routes, from their homes to their work or training centers, day and rehabilitation or treatment centers, as well as to facilitate travel to cover specific daily procedures (medical or administrative appointments, etc.).
Fundación ANAR is a non-profit organization dedicated since 1970 to the promotion and defense of the rights of children and adolescents at risk and in distress through the development of projects, both in Spain and Latin America, within the framework of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Solidarity project: Telephone/Chat ANAR to help children and adolescents at risk in the Valencian Community.
The funds obtained through the collaboration of Rototom Sunsplash and the Valencian delegation of ANAR will go to the program ‘Phone/Chat ANAR to help children and adolescents at risk in the Valencian Community’. The objective is to provide children and adolescents with a safe and confidential space where they feel listened to and respected, and where they can freely express what is happening to them in order to find alternatives to their problems together.
The donation must be made through our ticketing system.
The donation will be managed by the organizer, as an intermediary, but the donor in any case will be the buyer who makes the donation, who may request a donation certificate from the corresponding non-profit entity.
More than 50 entities dealing with peace, human and civil rights, fair trade, anti-prohibition, the environment, reggae and Rastafarian culture participate each year in the Rototom Sunsplash. They do so with their stands during the festival, their talks in the Social Forum or the Reggae University and their workshops held in the different cultural areas.
Without solidarity among people, we cannot make advancements in human rights nor can we advance towards the better world that we all long for. That is why we say solidarity is essential.
We collaborate with associations by directly supporting their actions
