Hinkley Point C has partnered with the carnival to support sustainability and creativity. The collaboration involves donating excess materials from the power station site, such as wood and paint, to the carnival clubs. These materials are repurposed and recycled for creating floats for the 2024 entries, promoting environmental responsibility and reducing waste.

This initiative not only provides essential resources but also reinforces community ties and cultural heritage.
