Every week there are one million empty hotel rooms in the UK
Earlier this month our COO, Jane, attended Carefree’s Change Happens Overnight campaign launch.
A truly inspiring event, celebrating the remarkable impact that collaborative hotels can have on the lives of thousands of unpaid carers across the UK. Over the last 7 years Carefree have provided 10,000 breaks with their goal to continue growing this number in the years ahead to:
- 10,000 breaks in 2025
- and hopefully over 10,000 breaks in 2026 and beyond.
Jane commented: “I’m delighted that some of our hotel clients are supporting this wonderful partnership between hospitality and the care community. Their approach makes it easy for hotel’s green teams of eco-conscious volunteers to make a real impact to full-time unpaid carers.”
Overview:
- Hotels provide 1-2 nights breaks incl breakfast for 2
- Carefree verify the carers
- The platform is user-friendly and easy for the hotel to control its inventory management and key blackout dates
Key points to consider:
- There is no contract involved
Each hotel has a Carefree Account Manager. - The hotel receives feedback from the carers
You’ll be provided with a ‘wall of love’, which can be used in your marketing. - Hotel employee referrals offered
Carefree can provide referrals for those team members that are carers.
