Every year approximately 100,000 people attend South London’s biggest and best free fireworks display.
Lasy year with your support we were able to raise a total of £55,000 to support the event (£10,000 from public donations and £45,000 from sponsorship and business support).
What happened in 2010
It was thought at one point that the unexpected £36,000 shortfall in funding might put the display at risk. Due to the huge generosity of hundreds of individuals, community groups and businesses, the display was able to go ahead.
Lewisham Council launched an appeal for public donations and, including the cash collected on the night, over £25,000 was raised. The 2010 display was once again generously backed by independent fund management company GLC Ltd, who have been involved with the Blackheath Fireworks display since 1994.
Local professional film makers, Live Vision Studios, made a film of the event.
