Carnival Donations
The carnival is organised by a team of volunteers and is a platform for all the charitable and not for profit organisations to raise money for their causes. All monies collected on the day through various activities organised by the committee and on the gate pay for the event. Although we aim to cover our costs, if we do make a profit the carnival fund is topped up for the following year and then any excess funds are donated to worthy local causes that do not have any other significant or reliable means of funding. The carnival committee consider all applications and decide which causes to help.
If you are a local organisation who have restricted funds with limited sources of income and need help to finance a project, please contact:
