A DONATION has boosted efforts to create the UK’s first purpose-built holiday village for seriously ill children and their families near Lichfield.

The Kids’ Village near Wychnor will feature ten four-bedroom lodges and a central facility for communal activities.

More than £5million has already been raised to support the project, with a £25,000 donation coming from the McArthurGlen West Midlands site in Cannock following a range of fundraising initiatives, including a Santa’s Grotto over the festive period.

David Jackson, centre manager at the business, said:

> “We are incredibly proud of the profound impact we’ve made, particularly the exceptional amount raised for Kids’ Village through Santa’s Grotto.  
>  
> “It’s a true reflection of our community’s generosity and our ongoing dedication to supporting those who do such vital work.  
>  
> “As we embark on 2026, we are excited to continue strengthening our partnership with Kids’ Village.”
