What to Bring with you When Stewarding

Things to Check Beforehand

Have I installed and checked the communications App on my phone? This is usually Telegram or Signal and details for the event specific chat will have been sent when you signed up to steward.
Have I installed and opened the What3Words App on my phone?

Do I know what time and where Stewards are meeting?

What to Bring

Comfortable Shoes

Clothing Layers

An all weather hat
Water bottle

Food container and utensils

Snacks
A-Z Paper map. These are available cheaply on ebay

Notepad & pencil

Earplugs- rhythms can be very loud if you are stewarding near them

Phone

Power bank for your phone

Umbrella- avoid large umbrellas but small foldable ones can be useful

Your pink hig-viz if you already have one

A badge (or stick on labels and Sharpie pen) to write your name on

A small bag, or better still a small rucksack to hold supplies

The site map or march route (if published in advance)
Suncream

Where to Store Stuff
There is often nowhere secure to store anything during events. If you have small items, it's best to carry them with you. Alternatively, there are several companies that have many sites across London where you can store a bag for 24hrs for a fee. If there are several of you together, try packing everything into one bag so then you only need to pay once.
We are not afiliated to any of these sites and don't recomend any particular company:

Radical Storage

Stasher
