CSR is a key element of our environmental strategy. At local level Center Parcs works with schools to provide work experience for students studying for an NVQ in Business Management. Center Parcs also work with Business in the Community and other charities so that lost property goes to people who really need it both locally and wider afield. When villas are refurbished, the old furniture goes to furniture projects, which help homeless people in the towns and villages around our villages.
All Center Parcs bikes are replaced every 3 years and for the last five years, these have been donated to the Inside Out Trust, a charity that works with prisons to create value-added work opportunities for inmates. The project involves sending bikes to local prisons where they are refurbished and then sent to overseas charities, in Eastern Europe and Africa with an average of 1000 bikes being sent out each year.
