Charities
Guilsfield Show is self funding and relies on the enormous support of our local community and show visitors to continue each year. Our show costs are covered by our entrance fees, profit from our social functions and the generous support of our sponsors. All of our committee members are voluntary and we are also supported by many members of our local community.
In addition, Guilsfield Show aims to raise money for charitable causes each year and part of the Presidents' role is to nominate the charities for that year. Our 2024 Presidents Lloyd and Sue Charmley have announced the show will support the below charities.
Lingen Davies
Lingen Davies is a cancer charity which was launched in 1979 to bring cancer services closer to the people of Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin, and Mid-Wales. Since then, we estimate that more than 100,000 people have had their cancer treatment and care improved as a direct impact of our work and cancer appeals.

Brain Tumour Research
Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet historically just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.
Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this. We are the only national charity in the UK focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours through campaigning to increase the national investment in brain tumour research to £35 million per year, while fundraising to create a network of seven sustainable Brain Tumour Research Centres of Excellence across the UK.
