Bovey Tracey Carnival has supported Dartmoor Search and Rescue Ashburton as their annual charity this year. And last night team member Al collected a cheque donation for an amazing £1,000 at the carnival committee's AGM at the Dolphin Hotel in Bovey.
We are incredibly grateful as our charity relies on donations for over 90% of our income. The team is made up of 100% volunteers, meaning all the money will go directly to helping us help those in need and not on salaries.
We are not just involved with helping the lost and injured on Dartmoor but increasingly we are called to help Devon and Cornwall Police with missing person inquires across South and East Devon and, on occasions, more further afield.
So whether its a lost walker or a missing vulnerable person, our volunteers will respond day or night 365 days a year to help.
If you are in the Bovey area and can lend a hand to the hard working Carnival Committee please get in touch with them on their Facebook page ASAP.
It would be a great shame to lose all the fun carnival activities that take place in the town throughout the year raising money for good causes. But the events don't organise or run themselves. So if you can help please get in contact via their Facebook page below as they are in urgent need of more help.

A very big thank you to Mel Winter, 2017 Ladies Captain, and all the golfers that supported her nominated charity this year at Bovey Tracey Golf Course.
Thank you!
