Hays Travel Foundation reaches £1m donation milestone

The Hays Travel Foundation has celebrated donating more than £1 million in grants to help children across the UK.

The foundation, launched in 2015, aims to help young people from disadvantaged backgrounds reach their potential in sports, art, education and health.

The money donated to charity through the foundation comes primarily from Hays Travel as well as some additional donors.

Hays Travel runs an additional scheme whereby it provides each branch across the country with £300 a year to use in their fundraising efforts with the aim of increasing the number before donating it to a charity, school, individual or important cause in their local community.

The Hays Travel Foundation supports the local community partnership scheme by matching any funds raised that are to be donated to registered charities.

Head of sales operations and community initiatives at Hays Travel, Toni Gibson, said: “Due to the pandemic, funding from the foundation had been temporarily placed on hold.

“I am delighted that we were able to relaunch the Hays Travel Foundation in May 2022 and am thrilled to have reached such an incredible milestone already.”
