Ocean Beach Pleasure Park in South Shields has welcomed thousands of visitors to its popular Winter Wonderland since opening last month.

The funfair has donated £1000 worth of Funcards to Cash for Kids – a leading charity which works to improve the lives of disadvantaged children – which can be redeemed for experiences across the park.

This is the latest in a string of donations since Ocean Beach started working with the charity more than a decade ago, amounting to around £30,000 worth of vouchers over the years for the organisation to use in the local community.

Michael Sheeran, operator at Ocean Beach, is delighted to help such a worthy cause.

He said; “Cash for Kids is a charity we have supported for many years and the work they do makes an immeasurable difference to children across the North East and beyond.

“It is fantastic to be in a position where we can provide a financial boost to organisations doing such a vital job, including our work with the Mayor’s Charity in South Tyneside.

“We hope the Funcards will provide a festive day out for some of the children Cash for Kids works with and we look forward to working towards our goal of raising £500,000 for the charity.”

The Winter Wonderland runs until 9 January 2022 and includes a large scale covered ice rink in the centre of the park. For more information, or to book, visit www.oceanbeach.co.uk
