Mission
To support local organisations and groups of all ages and abilities by awarding grants towards their capital projects from the profits of an annual two-day summer festival, held in the village of Worstead in July each year..
The charity has a 60 year history of providing funding for groups, organisations and other charities in Worstead village, neighbouring parishes and further afield. The effort put into the festival by the many volunteers who work over the course of the year is rewarded by the help we can provide awarding grants to other groups who are doing so much good for their communities.
