Wave 105’s evening presenter, Andy Jackson, ‘let battle commence’ at Adventure Wonderland in Bournemouth, when he launched the family park’s Battle Boats water ride. To celebrate the ride launch, Adventure Wonderland gave a host of complimentary tickets to Wave 105’s charity; Cash for Kids.
The Cash for Kids team invited children from Community First New Forest Young Carers Service and Mosaic to make the most of the tickets and have a ride on the Battle Boats. The children also got to enjoy the 30 other rides and attractions in the park, before being treated to a magical tea party with Alice and the Mad Hatter.
Russell Lucas–Rowe, Adventure Wonderland’s managing director, commented: “We have a close relationship with Wave 105 and we were delighted to be able to help the Cash for Kids charity. We provided what I think would have been a great day out for some very deserving local children.”
Wave 105’s evening presenter, Andy Jackson added: “I was thrilled to launch the Battle Boats ride. The team at Adventure Wonderland were extremely generous allowing us to treat some of the wonderful children we support through Wave 105’s Cash for Kids. They all had such a fantastic time and were pleased to experience the ride.”
