Haddenham Real Ale Festivals aim to raise comunity awareness of all our
local good causes and organisations by providing everyone with the
opportunity for a grand day out with great beers, ciders and wine to
enjoy.
We are proud to have helped many groups and organisations - this would
not have been possible without your
help! Thank you.
Total money
raised
to date:
£57,090
Who has benefitted?
Our main beneficiary in 2006
was the Upward
Bound Trust based on Haddenham Airfield who received
a donation of £7,100 to
assist with the necessary relocation of their hangar due to airfield
development.
Gliders have been a regular sight over the skies of Haddenham for many
years but not everyone is aware of the work of the Trust. Please look
at their website - you may be surprised at
what's on offer!

received £3,850 from the
Festivals for development and on-going management & support of

family who have needed their support and services.

Barn, presents the cheque on behalf of the Winterfest Committee.
