2026 Shelford Feast

​

Almost £25,000 will be donated to local groups following the 2026 Shelford Feast.

The 2026 Shelford Festival and Feast was a great success and now that all the bills are in we can confidently give back to the many good causes who helped make our Feast not only enjoyable but profitable too.

​

Individual organisations will be contacted very soon about their exact sum but we can now say that we will be donating nearly £25,000 to local good causes this year, including £5,000 to the school, £3,000 to the Mobile Warden scheme and £2,000 to the Sick Children's Trust.

This adds up to a fantastic figure of £436,000 since the Feast was relaunched in 1994.

​

Our funds will be shared by some thirty local organisations who help the young, the old and the needy, voluntarily giving their time and energy. Many many thanks also to so many sponsors – headlined by Savills Cambridge and Form Dental.

​

Here are the Good Causes who have benefited – and contributed! – this year:

​

Air Training Corps, Arthur Rank, AWUK Ambulance Wish, Badminton, Beavers, Bowls, Brownies, Cambridge Cancer Help Centre, Centre 33, Cricket, Cubs, Football, Friends of St Mary’s, Guides, Library Friends, OASSIS, Over 70s seniors, Pantomime, Rainbow preschool, Sawston Girls FC, Sawston VC Music Dept, Scout & Guide HQ, Scouts, Shelford Twinning, SSYI, Stapleford Warden, Sawston Youth Drama, Women’s Institute.

​

Let’s all be happy to celebrate our local volunteers – those who help those who help each other!
