Kendal Calling has revealed that this summer’s festival has raised a whopping £55,735 for local charities, organisations and other deserving causes.
Funds were raised just last month at Kendal Calling through donations, merchandise sales, guest list donations, on site activations and more.
Hospice At Home, North West Air Ambulance, Eden Animal Rescue fundraised and raised awareness of their brilliant cause on site, while guestlist donations were raised in support of Alder Hey Children’s Charity and Guide Dogs For The Blind, James’ Place, Penrith Lion, Growing Well and Askham Outdoor Swimming.
Andy Smith, founder of Kendal Calling said: “We're happy to announce that Kendal Calling 2023 collected a record sum of over £55,000 for various worthy causes. This will support national and regional charities such as Guide Dogs for the Blind, James' Place, and Alder Hey Children's Hospital.
"In addition, we will be directing funds to local initiatives like schools, sports, and carnival groups in the region.
"We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who came to the 2023 festival and to all the incredible volunteers whose support and time makes these donations possible."
