HAVEN’S holidaypark at Doniford and its sister park at Burnham have raised £1,890 through the sales of 5p carrier bags for the Marine Conservation Society.

The company has been working in partnership with the society since last year to help protect shores and marine wildlife in the UK.

And the Doniford and Burnham money is part of a £45,000 donation made by Haven’s 31 coastal holiday parks in England and Scotland.

Ellie Whalley, retail buying manager at Haven, said: “Our donation will help directly tackle the problem of plastic waste in the marine environment, making our beaches a happier and safer environment for holidaymakers and marine life alike, and help us to secure the future of our beaches for generations to come.

“We are proud of our relationship and the commitment that we have made to the MCS over this past year, and look forward to developing this in the future.”
