£21,000 for Children’s Hospice
McKeever Hotels has raised £21,000 for the Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice as its Charity of the Year Partner in 2024.
The NI Children’s Hospice was selected as partner following a companywide consultation with employees and was supported by all McKeever Hotels. The year-long fundraising commitment inspired employees, suppliers and guests to play their part in supporting the charity.
McKeevers introduced a series of charity initiatives, including a coffee fundraising drive that donated 5p from every cup of coffee sold across its hotels. And to support its sustainability strategy, McKeevers launched a Green Rooms campaign, which contributed £5 for every room that opted out of daily housekeeping and alone raised over £10.6k for the charity.
Each hotel also organised events, from teddy bear picnics, community clean ups and raffles to abseils and boxing matches.
The donation by McKeevers will fund the essential services and care the hospice provides to over 330 life-limited infants and children per year, as well as emotional support and services to their families.
Eddie McKeever, managing director of McKeever Hotels, said:
“Over the past year, the sense of shared purpose has only grown stronger. Our staff across every hotel truly embraced the charity partnership and reflected the spirit of our people and culture at McKeever Hotels.”
