Supporting our communities
In 2023, we doubled down on our charity efforts, donating to many worthy causes across the northwest – and beyond. In total, we raised £9,313.75 across the entire year! A large amount of our charity work was donating rooms through Charity Escapes. We also held a Macmillan Coffee Morning and donated toys to Mission Christmas.
Mustard Tree
CitySuites has been a proud Mustard Tree partner since 2018, and in the second half of 2023 we touched base with them to strengthen our partnership. Mustard Tree is a charity that helps the local people of Greater Manchester who are vulnerable, isolated or in need of financial support to change their lives through securing better accommodation and economic wellbeing. In 2023, we donated £762.75 to them through a collection of smaller charity efforts, however, our renewed support for them will continue into 2024 through a series of events and volunteering…
Mission Christmas: Presents All Round
Once again, CitySuites championed the spirit of giving by actively participating in Cash for Kids’ ‘Mission Christmas’ initiative. With a
heartwarming display of generosity, our team came together to donate a collection of money and gifts and help pack gifts for disadvantaged young people, ensuring every child in Greater Manchester woke up to a special surprise on Christmas morning. Through their efforts, CitySuites contributed to the distribution of over £1.1 million worth of gifts, brightening the holiday season for 35,482 children.
Macmillan Coffee Morning
Once again, we put the kettle on for the world’s biggest coffee morning, joining the hundreds of thousands of people across the UK taking a break and raising much-needed funds to help those living with cancer. In 2023, we had a fantastic time, raising £791 for the cause. We’ll be doing it all again on in September 2024.
Charity Escapes
We donated over 20 room nights through Charity Escapes, offering one- and two-night stays in various room types. They’re a non-for-profit organisation that matchmakes charities with companies willing to donate prizes for fundraising events. Unfortunately, Charity Escapes made the difficult decision to close at the end of 2023. After working with them for 5 years, we wish the team there all the best in their future endeavours.
