Soham Groups Benefit from the Carnival Atmosphere

For the past 65 years, the Carnival has been staged every year to raise money to go back into the local community. This year The Carnival raised £7500.00 to donate to various Schools, Charities, Clubs and Organisations.

Our main beneficiaries this year were the 3 Primary schools in Soham. St Andrews, The Shade and The Weatheralls who were each presented with £1500.00 each.

The remainder of the money was distributed to our other beneficiaries which included Soham First Responders, Pos+Ability, Daisy’s cause, Cruse Bereavement Services, Soham Bowls club, VIVA Arts, KD Theatre Productions, Soham North Chapel, Molyn, Soham Day Centre,, Soham Comrades Band, Soham Over 60’s, Royal British Legion-Soham Branch and Soham Christmas Lights.

We also presented our Townspersons of the year, John and Helen Attlesey with the Townsperson Cup- Every year John and Helen decorate their house with an amazing Christmas lights display whilst raising money for Charity at the same time. It’s truly a magical experience for the children and adults alike of Soham and surrounding areas. Many congratulations and thanks to them- we all appreciate their kindness and generosity.

The Carnival 2019 is to be held on Monday 27^th May at the Recreation ground Soham.
