The Charities
The proceeds from the Chapel Row Fayre are donated to charity. In 2005 we managed to raise £10,000 for Macmillan Nurses. This represented the largest donation they had ever received from a local fundraising event.
In 2006 we had an incredible year and raised £12,000. The Charities supported were Macmillan Nurses and Daisy's Dream.
In 2007 we raised £10,500 for Macmillan Nurses, the Duchess of Kent's Hospice in Reading and the Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society.
In 2008 we raised another £10,500 for Multiple sclerosis, Friends of the Charles Clore Unit and the Spring Charity.
In 2009 the lovely weather and a lot of generosity meant we raised £12,000 for Swings & Smiles, Jack's Place and Chox.
For 2010 our chosen charities are Naomi House, Riding for the Disabled and Newbury Volunteer Drivers.
The fayre has been able to raise a lot of money over the years through the efforts and generosity of the local community. We would like to thank all the people who give up their time to help set up and run the fayre, the local businesses who donate prizes and support the fayre and to the people who attend in their droves enjoying the day and spending money on the stalls.
Thank you for making the Chapel Row Fayre so much fun and so successful for its charities.
