Last year's largesse from carnival-goers has been distributed between Stourport groups.

The £2,400 raised from the September event was shared between groups including the town's Operatic Society, Brownies and British Red Cross. Lickhill Middle School, Stourport High School and Lucy Baldwin Hospital also received cash.

"Local charities are asked to write in for a grant and the carnival committee pick who the money goes to," said organiser Pete Roberts.
