Rickwood Park: Supporting Local Families

At Rickwood Park, community care takes centre stage. The park has partnered with the Dorking Area Foodbank to collect non-perishable items for local families facing hardship. What began as a single initiative has quickly grown into a regular act of kindness—bringing together residents and the park team in a shared effort to make a meaningful difference.

Their first collection raised £100 worth of food donations, and now Rickwood Park proudly contributes fortnightly supplies to the Foodbank. These ongoing efforts are a simple yet powerful reminder of how small, consistent actions can have a lasting impact—showing how holiday and residential parks can help support those who need it most within their own communities.

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