Due to the large amounts of planning required for a carnival, we have been busy from the beginning of the year, meeting regularly and progressing numerous actions.
Abiding by the rules
The Hertford Carnival Committee is registered and run as a non-profit organisation, which means;
-
Each member of the committee and sub groups is giving their time for free.
-
Means such as sponsorship is sought to cover the large costs of putting on the carnival.

Provide participants and volunteers with an opportunity to use their skills and their imagination
-
Be used by local voluntary groups, organisations and charities to heighten their profiles

Generate a substantial amount of cash for the chosen local charities
