Coral Island kicks off the season with Community Support Programme

Coral Island, one of Blackpool’s most recognisable family attractions, has launched its 2026 community support programme by working with Blackpool Victoria Hospital and Home-Start Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre to organise a series of donations to families across the region.

Presenting Home-Start with a cheque for £2,500, Coral Island aims to contribute to the charity’s invaluable work supporting local families who are facing challenging circumstances through hands-on help and practical guidance. 

The donation forms part of a long-standing relationship between the two organisations, with the attraction having supported the charity for many years, including sponsoring a family through the vital Home-Start programme. Most recently, Coral Island donated 50 Easter eggs to bring some extra cheer to Home-Start-supported families over the Easter period.

A further 50 Cadbury’s Easter Eggs were donated by Coral Island to the Blue Skies Hospitals Fund ahead of Easter, which were delivered to patients, their families and staff at Blackpool Victoria Hospital. Blue Skies is the only charity dedicated to enhancing patient care at the hospital, raising funds to support patients and their loved ones in Blackpool and beyond.

Jeff Macnamara, Managing Director, commented: “By working with charities like Home-Start and Blue Skies, we hope to make a real difference for families across the Fylde coast who might need a little extra support during challenging times. We’re incredibly proud of these partnerships and the important work both charities carry out in our local community and we look forward to continuing to support them, and others, for years to come.”

Coral Island is committed to expanding its charity partnerships throughout the year, with plans to work alongside further organisations that make a tangible difference to local families.
