MORE than £4,000 has been raised for St Rocco’s thanks to Gulliver’s World.

For one day in September, the theme park in Old Hall donated £2.50 of every ticket sold to the hospice.

Some tickets to the site were also discounted for the day to increase attendance and raise money.

On this particular day, Gulliver’s World also hosted a family fun run which saw more than 540 people take part.

Again, £2.50 of each entry fee was donated to St Rocco’s.

The route wound its way through the resort’s rides and attractions, with many participants dressing up.

In total, £4,032 was raised for St Rocco’s Hospice.

Liam Durkan, corporate partnership manager at the Bewsey hospice, said: “Our business partnerships play a vital role in supporting patients and sharing information about the services we offer.

“Joining forces with Gulliver’s World means we are securing the future of St Rocco’s as we approach our 40th birthday in 2025.

“This partnership directly supports the people of Warrington who need us most and we couldn’t be more excited to be working with the Gulliver’s team.

“St Rocco’s and Gulliver’s World are planning an exciting year of fundraising opportunities in 2025.”

Craig Clews, resort director at Gulliver’s World, said: “The charity day and fun run combined to create an incredible atmosphere around the park and our thanks to all the families and runners who played their part in making it such a special day.

“Gulliver’s has always enjoyed a strong relationship with the local community and we are delighted that events like this allow it to thrive.”
