Islington's Angel Canal Festival Needs You

The Angel Canal Festival is run by volunteers and is supported by local businesses, clubs and charities. In order that we may continue and run the event free of charge for the Islington community and its visitors we need help in the form of sponsorship and volunteer helpers- on the day and throughout the year.

Sponsors

In order to run and publicise this major event for Islington we require financial donations from local businesses. We also need support in advertising and promotion, if you run a local publication we'd love a mention. Major sponsors are recognized in our flyers and on the links page of this website. If you would like to help us raise money or help our publicity campaign then please contact Beryl Windsor on the the details printed below.

Volunteering

We fully appreciate some people are not in a position to donate funds, however we also require helpers to keep things running smoothly. Help is required throughout the year with planning, preparation and marketing of this event. On the day we recieve a great deal of support from the local boat cruising club based at St Pancras, as well as attractions within the festival planned and organized by local charities such as Islington Boat Club. However we always need more helpers on the day, the usual timetable of jobs is as follows.
