Emily and Michael Eavis, organisers of the Glastonbury Festival, have announced 
that the Festival donated £2 million to local, national and international charities
in 2013.

The main charity beneficiaries were Oxfam, Greenpeace and WaterAid, but hundreds
of other causes also benefited.

Oxfam and Greenpeace each received £500,000, and WaterAid received £260,000. The
charities had active presences at the summer festival so will have generated more
income themselves.
