Broadwater Carnival Society
Worthing, UK
As a group of local people and together with our colleagues at Worthing Fire Station we organise an annual event on Broadwater Green and at the Fire Station to raise funds for local good causes and the fire fighters charity. We invite charities and good causes each year to be considered for a donation from funds raised. The past few years the sum raised has been around £10,000.per year. On the day we have upwards of 150 stalls including charities, local groups such as the girlguides, sea cadets, cancer support and the local hospice who bring awareness and raise funds for their own needs. We also invite local business to highlight their services. It is a great community event with local groups entertaining the crowds with dancing and singing. At the Fire Station demonstrations take place highlighting safety awareness re fires and accident and they are joined by police and ambulance services. We would use any donation to pay for things such as a programme, road closures to keep the public safe and this coming year we would like to have an event mascot. Any remaining funds would go into the pot for distribution to our selected charities. We would welcome input from our local Starbucks store. We have a good relationship with them and They do support us locally with fund raising events that take place during the year. A donation of £1k would make you our biggest sponsors and as such we would be pleased to advertise that fact in our local community
