Hilton supports Crisis' Open Christmas with blankets

Howard Lake | 14 December 2004 | News

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.”

This year the charity will be providing temporary accommodation in six locations throughout London, including the Millennium Dome, for over 1,200 homeless people for eight days.
