Hotel guests staying at Hilton London Heathrow Airport have helped to make a big difference with their small change thanks to a special three-month fundraising activity organised by Hilton in the Community Foundation.
Guests staying at Hilton London Heathrow Airport will be using their small change to make a big difference to disadvantaged children over the coming months as part of Hilton in the Community Foundation’s annual fundraising campaign.
“Small Change, Big Difference” will be running in Heathrow throughout October, November and December this year. The campaign invites hotel guests staying at selected Hilton Worldwide hotels to add an optional £1 onto their room bill during their stay. The campaign has now raised over £835,000 for children’s charities since its inception in 2004.
Jurgen Sutherland, Hilton Worldwide area general manager said, “This is a very worthwhile campaign and one that I hope our generous guests will support once again. By choosing to add an optional £1 we can help Hilton in the Community Foundation to ensure that disadvantaged children receive the support that they need. Working together your small change really can add up to make a real difference to children’s lives”.
Hilton in the Community Foundation has supported local children since 2000 with grants supporting several local good causes including Chestnut Tree House Children’s Hospice, Cosmic (Children of St Mary’s Intensive Care) and St Catherine’s Primary School.
Premium passengers with Delta are being offered free use of a Yotel room on arrival at Heathrow’s Terminal 4, with facilities which include a shower, bed, flat-screen TV and wifi access.
The airline believes it will prove particularly popular with passengers who want to freshen-up after an overnight transatlantic flight. But it faces stiff competition from other airlines, such as British Airways and Virgin Atlantic, which have invested heavily in arrivals facilities at Heathrow.
Use of the cabin is available to Delta passengers .as well as those booking with joint venture partners Air France and KLM, travelling in Business Elite on Delta-operated flights from Atlanta, New York, Minneapolis and Detroit.
Diamond and Platinum Skymiles Medallion members, and Flying Blue elite members are also eligible for the service.
Armin Venencie, Delta’s regional sales director for the UK, Ireland and Scandinavia, says: “Our premium travellers expect the convenience of an arrivals facility after a long-haul flight. Our partnership with Yotel offers passengers a convenient, private and comfortable space to change before an important meeting, or freshen up before getting on the road.”
