Charity
After covering the festival costs, we donate all ticket proceeds to various charities supported by the
Frank Haines Memorial Trust
Since Frank’s death in March 2006, thanks to money raised by hugely generous donations, past Franstocks and people taking part in the Connemarathon the trust has raised £110,000
£60k of this has been committed to Oxford House in Bethnal Green to support youth work and a weekly theatre project until October 2009.
Another 50K has been split between another 5 East London charities.
