Although we have received aid from thousands of generous people, we really must say a heartfelt thanks to the Festival Republic, Melvin Benn and all the staff, who's support is paramount to Cradle's projects.

Over the past ten years, Cradle have been given the opportunity to collect donations for our projects at the festivals organised by The Mean Fiddler and now the Festival Republic. This arrangement has been hugely successful, rasing much needed funds for our development work abroad and in turn, building a sound partnership between Cradle and the festival organiers.
