Gulliver’s Valley opens its doors to local charities this Christmas

Visitors to Gulliver’s Valley are being asked to dig deep for a number of local worthy causes in December.

Charities are being invited to the Rotherham resort on certain days and weekends in the run up to Christmas with their bucket collections to try and raise as much money as possible and to highlight their important work to guests.

The organisations visiting include Roundabout South Yorkshire’s Youth Homelessness Charity, Ashgate Hospice, The Children’s Hospital Charity, Thornberry Animal Sanctury, Paces, Yorkshire Air Ambulance and Bluebell Wood.

Andy Flowers, resort manager at Gulliver’s Valley, said: “We have a great relationship with lots of local charities across South Yorkshire and we do as much as we can for them throughout the year. But, as Christmas is really special and these charities often need that extra bit of support at this time of year, we have invited representatives from a wide range of different organisations to come to Gulliver’s Valley to chat to guests, sell merchandise and try and raise as much money as possible.

“We know how generous our customers are so we hope they will support the charities and give what they can to help spread a bit of festive cheer this Christmas.”

One of the first charities to visit was Roundabout, South Yorkshire’s Youth Homelessness charity.

Emily Bush, Roundabout’s Fundraising manager, said: “We’re delighted to be back at Gulliver’s this Christmas. It’s always a great event for us and we love having the opportunity to chat to people about the work we do in South Yorkshire.

“This year, we’re excited to be joined by a special guest and selling Roundabout Christmas cards designed by local artists too!”
