Ambition Beyond the Coronation Weekend

The Coronation Weekend is a beginning. Any additional monies raised will be used to create a charitable Parish Fund to support people, groups, facilities and activities across the Parish now and in the future providing a lasting legacy and future memories.

How can you contribute?

If you are a business then you can provide your services in support the weekend (or on the day), take a stall to showcase your activities, donate products for our auction of promises and raffle.

If you are an individual you can donate by simply turning-up with your family to enjoy the activities and events we have planned over the weekend. If you can, you might consider donating to our Just Giving Page.

As an individual you can join the team who will make the day special. We will need people throughout the weekend to help for short and longer periods, to contribute to our events and even bake cakes. All contributions are important to the success of the weekend. (see the list below).
