WINCHESTER leisure group Great British Holiday Parks has raised nearly £1,400 to help disadvantaged youngsters in the Solent area.
Proceeds from the group's gala dinner and money collected from in-house fund-raising during the past year all went to Southampton based charity Fairbridge Solent, which supports people aged between 13 and 25 living mainly in deprived urban areas.
Fairbridge outreach worker Clair Jackson, 29, development co-ordinator Jake Moore, 27, and Robert Johnson, 25, who has benefited from the scheme since moving to Southampton three years ago, received the cheque at Great British Holiday Parks' Colden Common HQ.
Based in 13 of the most disadvantaged urban areas in the country, the Fairbridge charity supports youngsters who are not in education, training or employment or who have been identified as being at risk of dropping out.
