The Crosspool Festival committee and Crosspool Forum are looking for ideas for which local causes should benefit from any money made from our annual community festival.
Last year, £500 was raised for Parents’ Association of Children with Tumours and Leukaemia and £500 was raised for community facility CDYST.
In 2013, £1,300 was shared between Weston Park Cancer Information and Support Centre and the 36th Sheffield Scout Group based on Benty Lane.
If you have suggestions a local charity or community group that could benefit from funds raised from this year’s festival, please fill in the form below. The Crosspool Forum committee will go through the suggestions and make a decision on who should benefit from money raised.
Please make your nominations over the weekend, as the deadline is Tuesday 5 May.

Open Gardens is on the look out again for people in Crosspool who would like to be community spirited and open their garden to raise some money for their chosen charity.
Anyone can have a go! This event is to encourage people to get outside, walk round the neighbourhood, meet new people and enjoy their gardens.
No previous experience required, no perfect gardens needed, just a warm welcome, a patch of interest in the garden be it plants, vegetables, chickens, bees or an activity you’d like to share with others.
Oh and maybe a cuppa with a nice piece of cake!
Interested in getting involved? Get in touch with Lindsey before 1 April on 0114 230 1041 or lindseybeagles@gmail.com.
