Here is a list of all the Charities we have helped
The first Binsted Fair held to raise money for the Friends of Binsted Church was a "Country Fair" in 1983. The cost of looking after our small community's 12th-century church, and the enjoyment of the community coming together to make this possible, grew, and we held the first themed "Strawberry Fair" in 1988. Whilst raising funds for the Village's needs, we have also raised funds for these other good causes over the years:
