West Country Parks Charity Walk raises over £800
May 13, 2019
Walking to make our parks 'Heartsafe'
Congratulations to all of our fantastic fundraisers who completed our West Country Parks Charity Walk, raising
over £800 for our Defib Fund.
The route saw us walk from Edithmead Leisure and Park Homes
near Highbridge to Rose Farm
in Berrow and finally back to Riverside Holiday Village
in Bleadon.
All proceeds will go to our Defib Fund, helping us to install life-saving Defibs on all of our Holiday Parks.
With your help, we can help to increase survival rates in our local community and make each of our Parks ‘Heart Safe’. By making a small donation to our fundraising campaign, you will be helping to protect not only us, but everyone in the local area and even yourself from cardiac arrest.
We massively appreciate your ongoing support and any donation will help us to achieve our goal.
Please keep an eye on your Parks’ Facebook page for more information about upcoming fundraising events – and if you would like to get involved please email caroline@westcountryparks.co.uk

We are delighted to share that Riverside Holiday Village will host Weston's Party in the Park for the second consecutive year!
For 6 nights in September, we will be deploying two ultrasonic bat detectors at Riverside Holiday Village near Weston-super-Mare to collect data on the activities of any bat species around our holiday park.
This April, we completed our first Million Mile Clean, collecting 11 sacks of litter over 2 miles. And this September, we're doing it all over again, but this time, we're adding in an extra mile! Providing a clean and attractive destination for our visitors to enjoy not only benefits our business, it also positively impacts our local community and the wider environment. Which is why we have committed to join Surfers Against Sewage Million Mile Clean for the second time. Now the biggest initiative of its kind in the UK, the Million Mile Clean is an annual event, mobilising 1,000,000 million volunteers to clean over 10,000,000 miles of UK landscape between 2021 - 2030. It’s reported that more than 2 million pieces of litter are dropped in the UK every day at a cost of £1 billion to the taxpayer. So, we are asking visitors and the local community to get pro-active and join us at Riverside Holiday Village near Weston-super-Mare on Thursday 11th September from 10.00am - 1.00pm for an organised 3 mile ‘litter pick’ along Bridgwater Road (Uphill Beach - Hospital Roundabout - Hobbs Boat Inn). ‘Clean Kits’ will be provided; we’re just asking for 3 hours of your time to help clean up this public space.
