2022 Fundraising

After raising over £11,000 for charity in 2021 despite various covid restrictions, we wanted to keep up the momentum and challenge ourselves to raise £25,000 in 2022. We are please to announce that we will be fundraising to support Dorset Mind and Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance in 2022.

We had a variety of fantastic fundraising events planned to raise money throughout the year, including a charity team walk which has become an annual tradition for the Waterside Group. Over the last 3 years, our team have walked over 83km and this year, we completed our biggest charity walk ever! A 30 mile hike from our Chesil Beach Holiday Park, all the way to Corfe Castle! All money raised during this event was donated to Dorset and Somerset Air ambulance.

To raise money for Dorset Mind, we put our Leadership Team up for auction! Our departments came together to make a silent bid on one of our Leadership Team members to try something new for the day. 

On Friday 22nd April we also hosted a Waterside team picnic celebrate National Picnic Day and raise some additional funds!

In Cornwall, our team at Tregoad also went the extra mile to raise money for Cornwall Air Ambulance! Tregoad Holiday Park’s General Manager Matt took part in a tandem skydive, all for a great cause!

Every year Cornwall Air Ambulance attends around 1000 Critical Care missions and since they rely on community groups, individuals and businesses to keep the charity flying high- every penny counts.

Last but not least, our queen of housekeeping, LaToya took part in the Weldmar Hospicecare Sahara Trek!

LaToya trekked approximately 50km across the Sahara Desert, facing scorching temperatures by day and freezing temperatures by night, sleeping under the stars with the Berbers and camels.

Weldmar provide specialist end of life care and support for struggling families. All services are provided free of charge and 21% of their funds are provided by the NHS, leaving Weldmar needing to raise £18,000 per day to fund their free of charge services!
