Inside Travel Group, renowned for its InsideJapan and InsideAsia brands, has recently donated a substantial sum of £41,000 to the Family Holiday Charity. This donation is part of their ‘Giving Back’ initiative, introduced as a commitment to support families across the UK. Providing breaks and day trips for those who might otherwise be unable to afford them, the Family Holiday Charity stands as the first beneficiary of this commendable scheme.
Simon King, co-founder of Inside Travel Group, articulated the essence of this endeavour. He stated, “We love putting together amazing trips and experiences for our customers, but we also know that not everyone is able to get time away – often especially the people who need it most.” This statement underscores their belief in travel as an essential right, particularly for those who might not have the means to enjoy such luxuries.
Alastair Donnelly, another co-founder, reflected on the partnership with the charity since 2020. He noted the growing relationship forged through staff fundraising and a deeper understanding of the charity’s vital work. This partnership has only strengthened over time, culminating in the significant financial boost following a successful year in 2023.
Mags Rivett, director of the Family Holiday Charity, expressed gratitude for the generous contribution, emphasising its critical role in continuing their mission. She remarked, “This very generous donation is vital to supporting the charity to continue in its mission and be here for years to come to support more families.” Her words highlight the crucial impact of the funds on the charity’s efforts to aid families in need.
Furthermore, this donation is set to pave the way for similar contributions from Inside Travel Group in other regions, including the US, Australia, and Japan. King reiterated their philosophy by stating that travel should be an enriching experience available to all, and they aim to assist charities like the Family Holiday Charity in facilitating this.
Inside Travel Group’s initiative exemplifies how businesses can positively impact communities by supporting charitable causes.
