What?
Carefree is a multi-award-winning digital charity that transforms vacant hotel rooms into vital breaks for full-time, unpaid carers.
Why?
1 in 5 people (20%) are currently giving unpaid support or care to someone. Their contributions save the public purse £135bn a year. Helping them take a break when they need it is the first step towards building a sustainable social care system that cares, shares and enables us all to thrive.
How?
We connect carers with hotels that are willing to donate some of their unsold rooms, in return for a turn-key ESG solution, zero revenue displacement, staff benefits, positive impact, an enhanced brand image, potential boost in F&B outlets and extra footfall on quieter days.
Cost neutral
Carefree’s model is designed to deliver both economic and social value to all of our partners - bringing more footfall into your hotels during times of low occupancy and anchoring efforts to better support employees with caring responsibilities at little to no additional operational cost.
Simple and effective
Our hotel partners are in full control over their inventory and breaks are confirmed to carers only after the hotel team confirms the booking.
Brand reputation and ESG reporting
By sharing the story of supporting unpaid carers, you can garner positive media attention, boost brand visibility, and foster a community of supporters who champion your cause. To you help with that, Carefree provides you with a streamlined approach to compliance and reporting. With ready-made reports and documentation tools, you can easily showcase your sustainable practices and transparently communicate your impact.
Employee referral scheme
A unique employee benefit that you can offer, positioning the hotel chain as a compassionate employer that values the well-being of its community. HR can refer employees with caring responsibilities to Carefree, so they can have a break at any hotel on our platform.
