Riverside Caravan Park: Backing Local Business

When the village bakery was at risk of closing in 2023, Riverside Caravan Park rose to the occasion. Instead of letting a much-loved community space disappear, the park bought the building and committed £250,000 to bring it back to life.

The result? A thriving bakery secured for the future, more than a dozen local jobs protected, and the heartbeat of the community preserved. Riverside’s support goes further still, with a £3,500 donation to the area’s wellbeing hub-proof that holiday parks can be so much more than places to stay; they can be the ones who keep a community thriving.

Key Achievements:-

• Saved a vital community asset – purchased the village bakery in 2023.
• £250,000 investment – to restore and secure the bakery’s future.
• Protected more than a dozen local jobs – ensuring employment stability.
• Strengthened community wellbeing – £3,500 donation to the local wellbeing hub.

This is part of the #ParksMakePlaces campaign, celebrating how holiday parks support people, places and the planet.
