Once the costs of running the Gala have been paid, such as toilet hire, stage hire and other operating expenses to ensure the Gala can go ahead an agreed amount is kept back for a contingency fund to ensure that there are sufficent funds to pay advance costs for the following year’s Gala. The remainder is the distributed amongst the charities and organisations which had stalls and raised funds on the day. The cheques are then handed out at the AGM usually held in October.
Yes – Assuming the Gala made a profit, all the charities and organisations that had stalls on the day and handed in money to the Gala Treasurer will receive a percentage uplift. Once profit has been calculated this is then expressed as a percentage of TOTAL monies handed in and this percentage will then be used to calculate the uplift due to each one.
Brighouse Charity Gala is not a registered charity in itself, it is an event organiser to provide a vehicle for organisations with charitable status to participate in the running of an annual ONE-DAY event held within the township of Brighouse. To encourage the community to contribute to this event by offering admission tickets and programmes as a means of raising monies to cover necessary expenses incurred in staging the Brighouse Charity Gala. To promote the township of Brighouse and to foster the spirit of COMMUNITY by offering people an opportunity to share in an outdoor activity, open to all.
All the committee members can be contacted by email brighousecharitygala@gmail.com where it will be forwarded onto the relevant person.
Brighouse Gala is open to any registered charity and local community groups. If you are unsure please submit an application and the committee will decide.
This year due to having a free Gala we need to charge a nominal amount of £20 per stall to charitable or community groups.
Each organisation must provide someone to help with the setting up of the Gala and clearing up after.
A representative from each organisation to attend the open meeting held the week prior to the Gala and to attend the subcommittee meetings relevant to you.
