Financial Summary
2025 Kimpton May Festival was another successful festival, the total raised was just over £31,000.
The Kimpton Art Show was again the largest fund-raising event and donated £4,800 to festival funds. The auction raised over £2,500, grand draw, fun run & vicarage creams each raised over £1,100.
Local organisations who run stalls can keep half their profits, donating the other half to the festival funds. This 50% retention amounted to just over £7,600, and after expenditure this left the Kimpton May Festival Trust with £15,000 to distribute. Kimpton Parish Church Restoration fund received £6,000 to go towards the cost of repairing & maintaining our beautiful 13th century church. £2,500 was given to Kimpton Primary School, £2,000 to Kimpton players and £1,100 to the reformed Kimpton Rovers. We were also able to support Garden House Hospice, Herts Air Ambulance, Isabel Hospice, Keech Cottage Hospice, Codicote Foodbank, Kimpton Brownies, Kimpton Guides, Kimpton Scouts, Kimpton Parish Magazine, Willow Foundation.
Local clubs, charities and organisations seeking financial support from the Kimpton May Festival Trust should contact the trust with details of their request. The committee also manages a welfare fund which can be accessed by anyone residing in the parish with a special hardship need. Applications for the welfare fund are handled in strict confidence.
