For the last two years, Hoburne Park in Christchurch has been supporting the RNLI Mudeford Lifeboat Station as the park’s nominated charity.
Despite covid measures and restrictions on fundraising events, the popular family holiday park has raised more than £5,000 for the much-needed local charity, which last year responded to nearly 50 call outs.
Fundraising at the park has consisted of various themed charity nights with its holidaymakers and holiday homeowners, plus Hoburne’s £1 booking donation scheme.
Commenting on the donation, Hoburne Park’s Manager, Shelley Monger, said: “We are hugely grateful for the wonderful work that the RNLI Mudeford Lifeboat Station undertakes in supporting the local area. In the last two years, their fundraising has been drastically cut and we know this donation will be used locally by the station to enable them to continue helping people around our coastline and waterways.”
A spokesperson from the RNLI Mudeford Lifeboat Station added: “This substantial donation from Hoburne Park is received with thanks, appreciation, and the knowledge that every penny will be put to good use saving lives at sea. Our local community, including Hoburne Park and visitors to the local area, are incredibly supportive in ensuring the 24/365 search and rescue cover the RNLI provides.”
