SVP Caravan to let
The SVP Tyne Central Council are delighted to announce that they have purchased a newly refurbished Caravan to provide holidays for families in the North East.
The primary aim of the caravan is to offer free accommodation to those families who may otherwise struggle to have a family holiday.
In order to use the caravan to its full potential and to help towards covering site fees and running costs, the SVP would like to encourage members and friends to also book the caravan outside of school holiday time at a rate of £400 per week.
