A holiday park has raised more than £60,000 for a hospice.
Shorefield Holidays, based in Milford-on-Sea, has been fundraising for Oakhaven Hospice for 26 years.
The business has raised a staggering £60,170 in total, with more than £20,000 contributed in the last two years alone.
The funds have been raised by staff and holidaymakers through various activities such as abseiling, skydiving and event sponsorship.
A portion of every holiday booking also goes towards the cause.

Lesley Lawrence, director of Shorefield Holidays, said: "Oakhaven is a wonderful hospice and does amazing work.
"Shorefield Holidays is very happy to help support all you do.
"Our staff loved the challenges they have done raising money and helping others helps us all feel positive and more of a team."
The money raised has been instrumental in helping Oakhaven Hospice provide specialist care and support for patients with life-limiting illnesses and their families across the New Forest, Totton and Waterside communities.
Natalie Hutchins, corporate fundraising manager at Oakhaven Hospice, said: "We are touched that Shorefield Holidays has chosen to raise funds for Oakhaven Hospice over 26 years and it is a pleasure to work in partnership with them.
"Every penny the company has raised will help Oakhaven to make every moment matter for patients and their loved ones throughout the New Forest, Totton and Waterside communities."
Oakhaven Hospice provides palliative end-of-life care and family support free of charge.
Last year, it cost £8 million to run the hospice, of which only 11 per cent is covered by NHS statutory income.
Around 89 per cent of the hospice's running costs are met by community generosity through fundraising, donations, gifts in wills and the charity's retail shops and social enterprise.
There are numerous ways businesses can partner with Oakhaven, including event sponsorship, organising fundraising events, taking part in a challenge, joining the Oakhaven Business Club, setting up payroll giving and match funding, organising an Oakhaven team-building day and becoming a corporate partner.
