We hope you are well and filled with the same excitement and anticipation that we feel as we look forward to the 2024 Sandwich Folk & Ale Festival. Over the years, your support has been the heartbeat of this event, transforming it into the vibrant celebration of music, culture, and community that we all cherish.

We are immensely grateful for the generosity of local businesses and individuals who have already contributed to make the 2024 festival a reality. However, we find ourselves facing a unique challenge this year as several of the grants that have been our pillars of support are either exhausted or no longer available. Furthermore, we have recently been advised that any decisions relating to an allocation of funds from the Toll Bridge Fund, courtesy of Sandwich Town Council, has been deferred until March 2024.

In our quest to maintain the vibrancy of this beloved festival, we are reaching out to our cherished community for assistance. We understand that times are tough for many, and we want to emphasise that our commitment to keeping the Sandwich Folk & Ale Festival accessible to everyone remains unwavering. However, the reality is that without additional financial support, the sustainability of this free festival is at risk.

This is where we turn to you, our dedicated community members, for help. We believe that together, we can ensure that the melodies continue to echo through our streets, and the spirit of togetherness prevails. Every contribution, no matter the size, plays a crucial role in securing the future of the festival.

If you have ever tapped your feet to the rhythm of the festival, laughed with friends amidst the lively atmosphere, or felt the joy of community, we ask you to consider making a donation to the 2024 Sandwich Folk & Ale Festival. Your support will not only keep the music playing but will also help us continue to bring our community together for years to come.

We understand that times are uncertain, but even a small contribution can make a significant impact. If each person who has enjoyed the festival gave just £1, we would have the means to keep the tradition alive and thriving. 

Thank you for being the heartbeat of the Sandwich Folk & Ale Festival. Your support is not just a donation; it's an investment in the cultural richness and unity of our community. Let's join hands and ensure that the melodies of the festival resonate for generations to come.
