A tourism boom in the wake of the government announcing its covid-19 roadmap will bring a dividend to Dorset Community Foundation thanks to a holiday firm’s generosity.

Original Cottages has pledged £1 from every booking until the end of March to community foundations across the country.

In Dorset it will be donating the funds to Dorset Community Foundation. Gemma Davenport, brand manager for Original Cottages in Dorset, said: “It has been so busy, we have seen record- breaking numbers ever since the announcement. People are just so desperate to get away and so many people are heading to Dorset.”

Dorset Community Foundation Director Grant Robson said: “We are very thankful for this gesture from Original Cottages and it is good to know that they are not only helping the voluntary sector but making a real contribution to the county’s economy.”
