Hilton UK & Ireland has donated over 2,000 blankets and pillows to support the Open
Christmas Initiative in London of national homelessness charity Crisis.

“Our blanket stock was at an all time low this year and we were desperately looking
for donations,” said Maff Potts, Head of Crisis Open Christmas. “The donation of
2,000 blankets and pillows from Hilton came as a godsend and will make a huge difference
to our guests.”
