Community support

• We understand that each hotel has the opportunity to make a positive contribution to the local community and actively encourage this in many ways, including:

  • Charitable work - each hotel chooses a local good cause to work with on an ongoing basis. This means we can make a real and measurable difference to a charity and creates a focus for our charitable support.
  • Sourcing local produce - developing strong relationships with local suppliers to showcase the regions produce and reflect the seasonality of the year
  • Partnering other local tourism businesses - to jointly promote the area to visitors
  • Providing local employment
  • Working with local schools and colleges in ways that support their aims and highlight opportunities for careers in the hospitality industry
  • Sponsoring local young sportspeople with gym memberships to help training regimes and fitness.

  
  Via our parent company, Daniel Thwaites, we contribute to local and national good causes including:
  
  

  • The British Heart Foundation - raised £110k in 2007
  • The Thwaites Charitable Trust - a registered charity that works to support charitable organisations and institutions in and around East Lancashire.
  • The Daniel Thwaites Travel Scholarship - enabling students to experience a different culture as part of a family. Annual trips for approximately 10 students, aged 17-19 visit all parts of the world.
