Giving back

Away Resorts is committed to giving back. Each year, our employees choose which national charity they'd like us to support - through dedicated fundraising and events. As well as this, we support our local communities, around our Central Support office and our Resorts, by giving local businesses and local heroes a little well-deserved extra love.

Charity work

Charity of the Year

Kids Village

Kid’s Village are building the UK’s first respite holiday village to offer free breaks to children with critical illness and their families.

As Away Resorts’ charity of the year, we will be putting on dedicated fundraising and events throughout the year, at all our 28 locations (inclusive of our Central Support office). Although our support of Kids Village really began in 2020 when three of our executive team took on a challenge of a lifetime, The Costa Rica Challenge, crossing Costa Rica East to West – kayaking, trekking and cycling 275km coast to coast.
