The Fair is always one of the annual highlights for the local community and those travelling from further afield. But it’s not just about having fun and being a showcase for local talent, businesses and organisations. Every year we donate the profits to worthwhile causes, with donations being divided between local schools and charities.
Supporting our schools:
5 local schools (Orleans Primary, St Mary's C of E Primary, St Stephen's C of E Primary, Orleans Park & Deer Park School) provide volunteers and generally help make the Fair such a success, for which we are very grateful:
Orleans Primary School run the BBQ
St Stephen's C of E Primary School organise the 5-a-side football and provide volunteers for Fair stewarding
St Mary’s C of E Primary School run the Eco-cup stall and are responsible for litter picking
Orleans Park School run the Pimms stall
Deer Park School run the Silent Auction
Oxford Gardens Primary School:
After last year’s Fair, a special donation was made to help fund a day out to Kew Gardens for children of Oxford Gardens Primary School, near Grenfell Tower. The pupils, staff and community have had to deal with consequences of the tragic fire. The trip to Kew took place on 7th March 2018 and was hugely appreciated by everyone concerned and provided an opportunity for pupils to create positive new experiences. It was agreed that a donation from this year’s Fair would be made available to continue this special relationship.
