Guernsey charities are invited to apply to become the main beneficiary of this year’s Harbour Carnival, which is to take place on Friday 11 August.
The Harbour Carnival, which is organised by the Guernsey Round Table and sponsored by RBC Wealth Management, raised £24,500 in 2016, with 50% going to the main beneficiary, the Guernsey Sailing Trust, and the remainder to a range of local projects throughout the year.
Dustyn Molver from the Guernsey Round Table and Organising Chair of the 2017 Harbour Carnival said: ‘This is an exciting opportunity for a local charity to receive a sum of money, which will allow them to make a deserving difference to the good work they do on the Island.
‘Whilst all applications will be carefully considered, we are particularly interested in applications from charities which are looking for funds for a specific project and are able to provide fundraising assistance both before and on the evening of Harbour Carnival on Friday 11 August.’
Lisa Barnett from the Guernsey Leadership Team at RBC Wealth Management said: ‘The Harbour Carnival is a key date in Guernsey’s community calendar, raising money for a diverse range of organisations that benefit the Bailiwick. 2017 marks the 10th anniversary of our partnership with the Guernsey Round Table in sponsoring this fun-packed family event. We look forward to hearing from charities who would like to celebrate this special milestone with us.’
Interested beneficiaries should email the Round Table via harbourcarnivalgsy@gmail.com, stating their Association of Guernsey Charities membership number, the nature of their charity, how they would use the funding and the resources they could provide to help with fundraising for the event. The closing date for funding applications is Thursday 13 April 2017.
