Why do we need to raise funds?

Wells Carnival is a not for profit organisation run entirely by volunteers – ‘the Crew’.

The aim of Wells Carnival is to provide affordable entertainment for all and to raise much needed funds for local charitable groups.  The majority of the 10 days of events are either free or charged to cover costs.  Wells Carnival also gives the opportunity for local charitable groups to fund raise for themselves.

Some of the £70,000+ needed, to run Wells Carnival annually, is offset by sponsorship from businesses & individuals (both local and from further afield), pitch fees from stallholders and raffles held at our larger events.  However, there is a significant shortfall which is where we rely on donations.

In addition, each year, we organise a bucket collection, during the Carnival Day Parade, which along with a contribution from Carnival funds, is shared between local charitable groups at our AGM in October. The more we raise the greater the contribution!
