Croydon and Sutton CAMRA beer festival in search for charity to support

2:30pm Sunday 17th June 2012 in Top Stories

The Croydon and Sutton Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) are looking for a charity to support at this year's Beer Festival.

The festival is taking place between October 11 and 13, at Wallington Hall, and the organisation is now seeking a charity to raise money for.

Since 2009, a number of charities have been supported including St Raphael's Hospice, MERU in Epsom and the Sutton Branch of the Multiple Sclerosis Society.

On average, over the three day festival around £1,000 has been raised.

The successful charity will need to be able to staff a stand from 12om-10.30pm on Thursday and Friday, and from 11am until about 6pm on the Saturday.

Charities are urged to think creatively about activities to do at the beer festival, to engage with visitors and help boost donations.

Past ideas include a 'Play You Cards Right' type game and a visit from the charity mascot.
