Donations to Local Groups
Scalby Fair is run for the enjoyment and benefit of the local community and is not primarily a fundraising organisation. However we are delighted when we are able to share any excess funds and make donations to local organisations. In 2023 we were pleased to make donations totalling in excess of £1,200, to such diverse groups as Newby and Scalby Library, Newby and Scalby Primary School, The Sweet Pea Fund (helping the volunteers who keep the public toilets on Scalby High Street clean and open), St Laurence’s flower fund, the Samaritans, the YMCA and, as a thanks for their performances at the Fair, The Hatton School of Dance and the Irish Dancers. Additionally food not used for our catering on Fair Day was donated to Open Arms at Eastfield
Additionally the sum of £2,700 was raised at the Scalby Walk on Easter Monday specifically for the Sparks Project.
