Charity Donations
The primary aim of the Bildeston Waytes Carols is for the participants and audience to enjoy themselves at an evening of festive merry-making and musical cheer – many people say it’s where Christmas begins!
Each year however, any money we make once our (minimal) costs have been covered has been donated to charity. Our audience members are encouraged to contribute something if they feel they have enjoyed themselves, and they have proved to be extraordinarily generous!
Thanks to the generosity of those who attended last year, we were able to donate £800 to Jessie’s Fund.
