Today, on World Su***de Prevention Day, we're proud to share that from January 2027, the Welcome Break Charitable Fund will be partnering with Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM) in Great Britain and Inspire in Northern Ireland.
Every year, millions of people visit our service areas and hotels while travelling across the UK. Through these new partnerships, we'll be working to raise awareness of mental health and wellbeing, support important fundraising initiatives and help make support more visible for those who may need it.
Together, we hope to make a meaningful difference in the communities we serve.
