Worcestershire Ambassadors and West Midland Safari Park join forces for families
Families from around the county enjoyed a special day out at West Midland Safari Park thanks to an initiative launched by the Worcestershire Ambassadors. In a first for the group, families from across Worcestershire revelled in the delights of the local attraction at the weekend. The Worcestershire Ambassadors teamed up with West Midland Safari Park to host the event, who kindly gifted over 400 tickets, enabling the families to enjoy a special day out.
Having raised over £500k for local charities over nearly two decades, this year the Worcestershire Ambassadors are focussing on mental health organisations in the county, namely St Paul’s Hostel and Worcester Community Trust. Amongst the charities invited to enjoy the day out were Mentorlink, Where Next, WPCC, New College Worcester and New Hope, Worcester.
Managing Director of the Park, Darren Chorley, said: “It was a great pleasure to support the Worcestershire Ambassadors for their family fun day. They do such brilliant work within our community, so we were honoured to host families from the charities they support and provide them with a great day out. We hope everyone had a fantastic day with us and we look forward to working with them again in the future.”
