What an astonishing achievement! And what an amazing 8 day's it was! Thank you Saffron Walden Round Table!
Saffron Walden Round Table are happy to announce that the 2025 8 Day Weekend has raised over £100,000 for local charities and good causes.
“It’s truly astonishing the amount raised, the turn out in support of this event from our town has shown once again why Saffron Walden is the best place to live. There was a real buzz in and around the area and many lasting memories were created, however It's impossible to thank everyone as so many individuals were involved, but a big shout out to all our Carnival Partners & army of volunteers of which we wouldn’t have been able to run this behemoth without their continued support” Said Lee Sanders Carnival Chairman.
The funds raised will now be donated back into the community and this is going to make a considerable difference to many charities and good causes, all of whom do great things in support of those who need help. We encourage any charity or organisation who is local to make an application by going to www.swrt.org and complete the form located on the ‘Funding’ page (https://swrt.org/funding) where we will look at distributing funds later this year.
The baton will be handed over soon so work can begin on the next 8 Day Weekend, but until then Saffron Walden Round Table continues with its slate of annual events like our Fireworks happening on Saturday 8th November.
