Testimonials from Grant Recipients
Malmesbury Library
We just wanted to thank the Carnival Committee again for funding the Planetarium at the library. The day was a great success, we had 300 people through the doors that day as opposed to our usual c.150. I have attached some of the feedback below.
“Thank you so much for a free opportunity. It was short enough for m 3 year old to keep his attention but enough information for my 7 year old.”
“Brilliant experience, so fantastic to have these opportunities that my children would otherwise not have had. So much fun and really interesting.”
“Very good. Presenter had lots of knowledge but kept it at a level easy to follow. Accessible to disabled, which is excellent. Thank you.”
“Hello, just to say a huge thank you for the planetarium and activities. It must have taken lots of planning and we really enjoyed it. The children's favourite part was the storyteller. They said he was hilarious.”
Stanton St Quinton Primary School
Thank you once again for the grant kindly donated to the opening of our new library at Stanton St Quintin primary school. We have now spent the money to purchase books.
Now our float planning can commence! Very exciting!
Malmesbury Community Radio
This support from the Carnival will enable us to continue producing radio broadcasts and podcasts in 2022. The Community Radio project is an inclusive community project, bringing people from Malmesbury and the surrounding area together with a shared purpose to develop both skills and self-esteem.
Flying Monk Arts Trail
A huge thank you on behalf of the Flying Monk Arts Trail, your donation will provide professional correx arrows signage for the towns annual Arts trial, Thank you
Hullavington Jolly Tots
Hullavington Jolly Tots baby and toddler group were delighted to have our application accepted for funding to purchase two interactive play mats for our tuff tray table. The children have put them to good use with cars, figures, animals and diggers and a whole range of cereals and grains to explore with and make lots of mess! We are very grateful to have been accepted.
Little Somerford Parish Council
Thank you so much for awarding Little Somerford Parish Council a grant of £250. We have purchased a new picnic bench for our play park. The park is a great asset to our community, and is used by lots of families.
