CHARITIES CHOSEN FOR CARNIVAL PROCESSION

Following the recent appeal, Clacton Carnival Association received numerous requests from local organisations wishing to be considered as the main beneficiaries from the Clacton Carnival Procession in August this year.

After very careful consideration of all the applicants, the Carnival Association has chosen to support two very worthy local projects for this event.

The Clacton and District Occupational Workshop Society, the well known workshop in Old Road for people with disabilities, need funds to replace two ancient greenhouses, and the Special Autistic Support group, who provide support to autistic youngsters, their families and carers, who are seeking funding for their 2009 West Cliff Theatre production for Special Needs children.

The Carnival Association would like to thank everyone who applied and all other suitable requests will be considered for a donation at the end of Carnival.  Many of those who benefit from the payout play a major role in the fundraising themselves.

Clacton Carnival Week starts with the Carnival Procession at 6.00 pm on Saturday 9th August when the theme will be “Heroes and Villains”.  Anyone wishing to participate should contact Larraine Rayment on 01255 431851.
