A Lincolnshire caravan park has received a charitable boost from the local Freemasons.
After the popular tourist destination was taken over by the community, Jubilee Park in Woodhall Spa was awarded £1,000 from the Provincial Grand Lodge of Lincolnshire.
The donation from the Freemasons Benevolent Fund will be used to help fund a refurbishment of the caravan site's shower facilities, Horncastle News reported.
Welcoming the donation, Joe Stanhope from the Friends of Jubilee Park, told the local news provider: "The money will enable us to increase the standard of the facilities in the caravan site.
"This year the caravan site has been very popular, but we are aware that the facilities are in need of updating."
So far this year the Freemasons Benevolent fund has given away almost £60,000 in grants.
Some 103 local organisations and voluntary groups have benefited from the donations.
Jubilee Park sits in the picturesque village of Woodhall Spa and as well as the caravanning site, boasts a playground, picnic area, tennis courts, bowling green, cricket field and cafe.
