Mersea Island Festival first took place in 1981 as a
youth work project, and has since been run and supported for 27 years by
the Essex Youth Service. In 2003,
'European Year for Disabled Persons' Mersea Island
Festival gained charitable status. (Reg.
charity 1097455)
Our year-on-year success is reliant upon local fund
raising activities, donations from corporate, public and grant making
organisations and private individuals all of whom, make this annual
festival possible.
The Trust is therefore indebted to many people and organisations for their valued contribution past and present, just a few
of whom are noted on our Supporters page.
Every penny we raise provides essential facilities,
services and equipment for an exciting range of activities, and funds
bursaries for low income groups.
