Local Hospice
Chosen as Main Charity
Following our recent appeal, the Clacton Carnival Committee received several
requests from local organisations wishing to be considered as the main
beneficiary from our Carnival Procession in August this year.
After very careful consideration of all the applicants, the Carnival Committee
has chosen to support the St. Helena Hospice Tendring Centre in Clacton. Their
Carnival Room is being refurbished and they need funds for new equipment and
furniture. The Carnival Room was so named in recognition of the £22,500 donation
from Clacton Carnival in the year 2000, towards the building of the new St.
Helena Hospice Day Centre in Clacton. This is a very worthy cause which will be
of benefit to so many people and we are sure it will be well supported by the
public.
The Carnival Committee would like to thank everyone who applied and all other
suitable requests will be considered for a donation at the end of Carnival.
