Following this years successful Andover Carnival two cheques were recently presented to this years chosen charities Andover Lip Readers and Breath Easy.
Iris Andersen, a longstanding member of Andover Carnival committee and the current Chairperson Larna Burley presented two cheques for £2000 each to Keith and Ann Brown representing Breathe Easy and Barrie Wickens representing Andover Lip Readers. Both organisations were extremely grateful to receive funds that can make a real difference to their members.
Larna Burley said:
This years Carnival day was another real success being enjoyed by thousands of local people and donating much needed funds to these very worthy causes. If there are any other groups out there who would like to apply to become one of next years chosen organisations to benefit from this day the application forms will soon be available on our website, www.andovercarnival.org Carnival next year will be on 15th July 2018!
