Our chosen charities and community partners
Supporting the local community
At South Lytchett Manor, being part of Dorset isn’t just about location, it’s about connection.
We’re proud to support a small number of local charities and community initiatives that are making a real difference, right here on our doorstep. From supporting children with life-limiting conditions to championing inclusion, confidence and community pride, these organisations reflect the values we hold close as a family-run park.
Upton in Bloom
Upton in Bloom is a volunteer-led community group dedicated to brightening the local area through beautiful floral displays, planting projects and environmental improvements.
From vibrant hanging baskets to thoughtfully planted green spaces, their work helps make Upton a welcoming and uplifting place for residents and visitors alike.
As a local business, we love supporting initiatives that enhance the area our guests explore. Dorset’s charm isn’t just countryside and coastline, it’s community pride, and Upton in Bloom embodies that perfectly.
