The Bridport Folk Festival was the dream of a few local folk musicians, in as much, was to provide a meaningful festival that encompassed all things folk and at the same time benefit a chosen charity. For 2019 we are donating to the Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance again, along with a couple of local charities, The Living Tree who support people with cancer and Cupboard Love, one of the local food banks.
DASAA Presentation for 2018
Despite the disastrous weather at the end of July that blighted the Festivals’ main event resulting in a small financial loss, the Committee decided they were able to make a significant contribution to DASAA being their chosen charity and did so with the presentation of a cheque for the sum of £1000. This was only possible due to many fundraising events undertaken earlier in the year including the contributions from local Folk Musicians that regularly busked in support of the festival. Pictured above are the representatives from the committee presenting the cheque for £1000 ( Michele Read, Ian Cox, Helen Goldman and Chris Deacon ) |
