Thame Food Festival CIC is not-for-profit run by a small group of local people. In 2019 there are two paid event co-ordinators, working part time at a nominal rate, organising the event with additional services brought in and paid for on an ad hoc basis as and when required. There are two other Directors who contribute their invaluable skill set to the festival during the year and a Financial Director.
As a community interest company this is a business with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for that purpose in the business or in the community, rather than being driven by the need to maximise profit for shareholders and owners.
