St Helens in the Park: Supporting Community Life

At St Helens in the Park, holidays go hand in hand with helping the local community thrive. The park has donated land for a forest school, raised £1,500 for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance, and continues to offer its spaces for community events all year round. Every member of the team is locally employed, ensuring the park’s success directly supports local families and the wider economy. It’s a shining example of how holiday parks can be at the heart of both social and economic wellbeing.

Here’s what they’re doing:

• Free accommodation vouchers for local schools and cricket clubs
• Land donated for a children’s forest school
• Open facilities like a shop, playpark, and dog walk to everyone
• Raised £1,500 for Yorkshire Air Ambulance
• Hosts year-round community events and recently took part in the Cancer Research UK Race for Life in Scarborough, raising over £2,500
• Employ a brilliant, fully local team

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