Burnham-On-Sea hovercraft charity benefits from supermarket donation

Staff at Asda in Highbridge have this week handed over a donation of £400 to BARB, the Burnham-On-Sea charity behind the town's two rescue hovercrafts.

The store's manager, David Simcox, said he was particularly keen to support the charity: "BARB is an integral part of the community, providing a life-saving service for the people of Highbridge and beyond. Colleagues at ASDA Highbridge are keen to continue building a relationship with BARB and are eager to lend a hand with future fundraising projects."

BARB Chairman Mark Newman thanked the store for its support and added: "We are very grateful for this generous donation. The sum will be put towards maintaining our two hovercrafts and further training for our crewmembers."
