- Annual fundraising brings Haven one step closer to its £1 million goal in support of its lifesaving charity partner
- Quay West ranks in the top 5 Haven holiday parks to raise the most funds for the RNLI in 2023
- Haven has raised a total of over £175,000 for the RNLI in 2023, supporting lifesaving work every day
Highlighting the power of community support, leading UK holiday company Haven has announced Welsh holiday park Quay West has raised over £8,500 to date in fundraising efforts for the RNLI.
The RNLI has been Haven’s chosen charity partner for over five years and continues to be an integral partnership, keeping guests educated and safe at sea whilst on holiday. Last year Haven set a fundraising target of £1 million to support the RNLI and 2023’s efforts from Quay West has bought that goal one step closer.
Mark Dowie, Chief Executive said “As a charity we rely on donations to run our lifesaving service, so we are extremely grateful for the support we have received from Haven during our long-standing partnership. We look forward to continuing working with them to help spread water safety messaging and keeping their guests safe whilst on holiday.”
At the start of 2023, Haven began a new initiative whereby every portion of cod sold at its own Cook’s Fish and Chips outlet, which is available at 29 parks, makes a 20p donation to the RNLI and these funds have contributed to its stellar success in its fundraising endeavours.
Haven’s Managing Director, Simon Palethorpe said: “We are exceptionally proud to continue to support the RNLI in their mission to save lives at sea. Our long-standing partnership over the last 5 years helps support the lifesaving work they carry out every day. With many of our holiday parks dotted around Britain’s most popular coastlines, our valued partnership ensures we can continue to provide our guests with information to help them feel confident and safe at sea.”
The RNLI offer a 24/7 search and rescue lifeboat service and seasonal lifeguard service on over 240 beaches around the UK and rescue around 24,000 people every year. It is their mission to educate and share water safety knowledge to reduce the risk and tragedies both on and offshore.
The funds raised will directly help support the RNLI with inshore lifeboats, crew gear and training. For more information about the charity visit www.rnli.org or follow @RNLI on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
