‘Click on SEE MORE for our fairs’ ‘fundraising stories’
For the past 15 years Bishop’s Waltham Garden Fair Committee, under the chairmanship of Joan Ferrer, has raised money for St John of Jerusalem Eye Hospital.
Why not give it a charity element and join the CFA so you can introduce new stallholders and increase your crowd through our marketing support?
If you are running your fair on your own or you don’t have enough committee members to help, the CFA can help you! We can take over the running of the stalls for you by helping you select them, do the paperwork and manage them at the fair.
Make your fair part of the CFA brand which raises over £1.5 million per year through all our member fairs, where the shoppers ‘SHOP TO GIVE’ (10% of their spend goes to the fairs’ charity)
AND NOW THERE IS THE CFA FUND TO SUPPORT YOU AS WELL!
Every time a purchase is made from one of our stallholders through this website, they will donate 10% to the CFA FUND. Periodically this will then be shared out equally between our Fair Organiser members for their chosen charity – helping to boost your fundraising and following our ‘SHOP TO GIVE’ ethos
The Charity Fairs Association is the source of expertise on charity fairs
A list of over 350 original, independent, talented stallholders who have all passed the CFA committee scrutiny, agreed to the CFA Best practice’ and offer individuality. Many of them are award winning.
Every January with excellent relevant presentations, viewing of the new stallholder’s gallery, listening to stallholder speed presentations, networking with other fair organisers.
This gives you up to date information and advice on running a fair – a great starting point!
If you feel that you would like to boost your charity’s funds with a smaller and easier event at another time of year to your fair, the CFA are offering sponsored Pop-Up shops. The CFA will manage all the stallholders and payment for the venue leaving you to concentrate on all the other tasks to make a successful Pop Up. A percentage of 10% of the takings will be divided between your charity and the CFA Fund.
