A dedicated caravan park has presented a charity with a much-needed cheque after a string of successful fundraising events run by holidaymakers at the site.

Following a summer of charity events at Diamond Farm caravan and camp site in Brean, Somerset, the generous team of fundraisers donated a whopping £2,275 to the Burnham Area Rescue Boat (BARB) charity.

BARB runs Burnham-On-Sea’s rescue hovercraft and the donation will go towards helping them with their running costs after the cheque was handed to the charity’s crew at Diamond Farm on Saturday (October 22nd), Burnham-on-sea.com reported.

Jayne Collins from the Diamond Farm Fundraisers told the news provider: “We are delighted to have raised such a big sum for BARB, which does a fantastic job in Brean and Burnham in helping to keep our beaches safe.”

Mike Newman, cairman of BARB, thanked the caravan park for its generosity, saying his crew were hugely grateful to the “fantastic support” they had received over the years.
