**Charity Escapes is offering over 100 UK and European luxury hotel breaks to charities
to help them raise money at their Autumn and Winter fundraising events.**

Not-for-profit [Charity Escapes](https://www.charityescapes.com/) sources donated
hotel breaks to help raise money for good causes, working with a variety of hotel
donors including Luxury Hotel Partners, Hilton Hotels, MalMaison, and Staybridge
Suites.

Charity Escapes take the donated breaks and place them into charity fundraising 
events, where they are sold as auction or raffle prizes to help raise money. Charities
that have benefitted so far include Action for Children, Teenage Cancer Trust, Marie
Curie, Lord Tavener’s and many more including smaller regional charities.

While Charity Escapes take a small percentage from the money raised by the prize
to help cover costs, there is no other cost to the charity when they take a donated
prize.

Rick McCordall, Project Director said:

>   “We are delighted to have secured these breaks but we’re conscious the event
> fundraising season is already in full swing. We want any charity that is organising
> a Gala dinner or fundraising event over the next 3-4 months to get in touch as
> it’s very likely we can offer a prize to help them raise more money. Only last
> month, Tiny Lives Trust raised £2500 from one of our prizes, so we know it works!”“
> The prizes available include weekend breaks at top hotels in cities including 
> Budapest, Munich, Stockholm, Leeds, Cardiff and other great UK and European locations.
> We are aiming to help raise over £25,000 for many good causes in the next 3 months
> from these prizes alone.”
