Jesmond Community Festival

Finance

The main expense incurred by Jesmond Community Forum itself is in the printing of festival programmes and posters, along with maintaining the festival website. While the Forum itself is able to contribute some funding from donations received during previous festivals, we are very grateful for the continuing support of the City Council’s North Jesmond, South Jesmond and Dene and South Gosforth Ward Committees, along with member organisations Jesmond Community Orchard, the Friends of Jesmond Library, Jesmond Residents Association, the St George’s Church PCC and West Jesmond Allotment Association. Other organisations and individuals collected donations during festival events.

But we know that this cash represents only the tip of an iceberg, compare with the amount of volunteer time and “support in kind” contributed by members of the many event organising organisations and venues taking part in the festival. Thank you to you all! We know that some of you, at least, benefit from giving your organisations and activities a higher profile amongst local residents, which will hopefully benefit you long after this year’s festival is over.
