Mersea
Island Festival first took place in 1981 as a youth work project,
and has since been run and supported for 26 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.
If
you would like to support our Trust by making a donation, no matter
how small, please contact Jim Ditchburn, our Treasurer or indeed
any member of the Trust committee.
