The Charity for 2011

Our chosen charity in 2012 is the Stroke Unit in Frenchay Hospital.   It is an acute medical ward providing specialist services for people who have had a new suspected stroke.

Supporting Charity

The Winterbourne Down Village Carnival prides itself on the money it has helped to raise for charity.  Each year charities are invited to take a stall at the Carnival for a small fee so that they can raise funds.  Many local groups have raised hundreds of £'s thanks to the carnival.  To find out how to book a stall see the contact us page.

Adopted Charity

Each year we adopt a charity and donate a substantial proportion of our profits to them apart from a sum we hold back each year to meet the costs of organising the carnival.  We always try to support a charity with local links with the area or local residents.
