The Advantage Travel Partnership will host about 300 guests for this year’s Big Celebration Lunch, which will support Croydon-based charity Children’s Hospital Pyjamas.
Awards recognising outstanding achievements over the past 12 months will be presented during the three-course lunch at 8 Northumberland Avenue in London on Friday, December 6.
Each guest will be asked to donate a new set of pyjamas to help the work carried out by this year’s chosen charity.

Advantage chief executive Julia Lo Bue-Said said: “Our Big Celebration Lunch gets bigger and better every year and we are planning for this year’s lunch to be once again the perfect balance of fun, celebration and recognition.”
More than 500 gifts were donated to The Salvation Army at last year’s gathering.
Children’s Hospital Pyjamas founder Charmaine Green said: “We are over the moon that Advantage has chosen to partner with us for their Big Celebration Lunch, for what will be our first-ever corporate event.
“No child wants to be in a hospital, but if they have to be, they do not want to be wearing a hospital gown.
“We strive to ensure that all children who are inpatients in our receiving hospitals, for whatever reason, can be gifted a brand-new pair of comfy pyjamas.
“The pyjamas are donated and sent with love, so that each child who receives a pair knows that someone is wishing them a speedy recovery and is thinking of them.”
Advantage members will be invited by sponsors to be their guests for the afternoon, which will also include drinks and entertainment.
