The Pinkies are the volunteers on the Committee behind Dawlish Celebrates Carnival.
Picture taken in 2022.
None of the pinkies are paid and putting on a carnival means planning once the last one ends. Many of them take annual leave to be volunteering to set up, put on and then take down the carnival set. It’s a big voluntary commitment. If you would like to know more about joinig the committee please get in touch! chairman@dawlishcelebratescarnival.co.uk
The Pinkies though rely on an army of volunteers who help out during the week – no time commitment is too small to give! We’d love to hear from you if you can offer any time! volunteers@dawlishcelebratescarnival.co.uk
