About the CFA

Charity Fairs are an enjoyable and easy way to shop for original presents for all occasions, under one roof, whilst also enabling a great deal of money to be raised for charity.

Charity Fairs have, since their birth some 30 years ago, become major businesses. It was to assist in the development of a mutually beneficial relationship between fundraising for charities and small independently run retailing businesses that the Charity Fairs and Stallholders Association (now the Charity Fairs Association) was formed some 18 years ago. The Committee is on hand to give advice on all areas and we publish Guides for both Stallholders and Fair Organisers that we hope will help you with the smooth running of Charity Fairs. We are also able to offer a very favourable Insurance package to members.

The Charity Fairs Association currently has a membership of 466 Stallholders and 139 Fair Organisers who between them attend and organise over 400 Charity Fairs annually.

The Association is a non profit-making organisation operating on a self-financing basis and is a self-regulatory body. Margaret Barton is the impartial Administrator.

Aims of the Charity Fairs Association

The main aims of the CFA are:

to set, promote and monitor a recognisably high standard for member's participation in Charity Fairs. The CFA is the only organisation that does this.

To help raise money for Charity.

To forge a closer understanding between Fair Organisers and Stallholders.

To protect Fair Organisers from unprofessional stallholders and vice versa.

To offer suitable incentives for Fair Organisers and Stallholders to become members, i.e. meetings, forums and insurance packages.
