EDENFIELD VILLAGE FETE

The Fete this year was a great success and a good time was had by all. Thanks to sponsorship from Marshalls and grant aid from the Rossendale Council’s Community Fund (and some good weather!) We made a profit and from this money we have made a number of donations which are as follows;

- £100 to British Red Cross - £100 to Rossendale Fell Rescue - £100 to Edenfield Primary School Allotment Project - £200 to the Edenfield Methodist Church, in thanks for all their support and use of their facilities without charge - £100 to Edenfield Cricket Club, in thanks for all their support over the last 12 months. - A further £100 has been made available to Primary School should they have a suitable project in need of support.
