All the money, less costs, raised in this event goes to charity. Our main charity is Blood Cancer UK, formerly known as Bloodwise, and prior to that, as Leukaemia and Lymphoma Research, which normally receives just over half of what we raise. Since the first festival in 1994 we have raised over £379,500 for charity!
