Weymouth Carnival Donates £750 to The Lantern Trust Following Successful August Event
In a heartwarming gesture of community support, Weymouth Carnival has donated £750 to The Lantern Trust, a respected local charity dedicated to supporting vulnerable and homeless individuals in the area. The donation comes after the success of the Weymouth Carnival C.I.C event, held on 14th August at Redlands Leisure & Community Park.
The carnival, a much-anticipated event, saw residents and visitors from across the country gather in Weymouth for a day of fun, entertainment, and community spirit. The event featured a variety of attractions, from live music and food stalls to family-friendly activities, all contributing to a vibrant and festive atmosphere that brought the community together.
The Weymouth Carnival C.I.C, the organising body behind the event, has long been committed to supporting local causes, and this year’s donation to The Lantern Trust reflects that ongoing dedication. The Lantern Trust, based in Weymouth, provides essential services to those in need, including practical support, advocacy, and guidance for individuals facing homelessness, poverty, and social exclusion. The charity’s work is crucial in helping vulnerable people rebuild their lives, offering them a pathway to stability and independence.
The £750 donation will go towards furthering the charity’s mission, enabling The Lantern Trust to continue offering its vital services to the local community. Speaking about the donation, a representative from Weymouth Carnival C.I.C expressed their gratitude to everyone who attended the event and helped make the donation possible. “We are delighted to be able to support The Lantern Trust,” they said. “Their work is incredibly important to our community, and we are proud to contribute to such a worthy cause.”
The success of the new Weymouth Carnival group is a testament to the strong sense of community in Weymouth and the surrounding areas. With people coming from far and wide to participate in the festivities, the event not only provided a day of enjoyment but also made a meaningful impact on a local charity that continues to change lives.
As Weymouth Carnival looks forward to future events, the organisers hope to continue this tradition of giving back, ensuring that the spirit of the carnival extends beyond a single day and has a lasting positive effect on the community and hopes to revive Weymouth Carnival in the future.
