Charities and Good Causes
Each year, proceeds from the Fair go towards the support of a number of local charities and good causes. The chosen main charity for 2023 is
Widecombe Community Hall
Widecombe Community Hall CIO has been established to design, build and eventually manage a brand-new, purpose built and accessible community hall in the heart of the village. With a main hall for performances, events and sports activities, and a separate space suitable for meetings and smaller groups, our multi-purpose centre will facilitate a wide range of community activities for all ages, whilst generating income to ensure its future sustainability.
For more information, and to pledge support by having your name engraved on a granite stone to be built into the ‘Supporting Wall’, please visit us at www.widecombecommunityhall.org
