Lake District hotels’ Ukraine appeal raises £10,000 in six days

A Lake District hotel group has raised £10,000 in six days to help the people of Ukraine.

Lake District Hotels Ltd, which owns six venues, has rallied the support of its guests, employees and suppliers to help raise the cash for the British Red Cross who are supporting Ukrainian refugees.

Lake District Hotels, which is owned and run by Kit and Charles Graves and their daughter Dani Hope, promised to match fund every pound donated to the fundraiser.

Dani said: “As directors of a family-owned business, it is truly harrowing to hear the stories of families being separated from one another and people’s livelihoods being completely destroyed, which is why we wanted to act.”

The three directors set up an online fundraising page so they could not only do their bit to help, but encourage support from others also.

With the help of 118 generous supporters, the target of £5,000 was reached on Monday, with Lake District Hotels matching donations pound for pound to accumulate a total of £10,000.

Kit said: “We want to say a massive thank you to all our loyal guests, family friends, hard-working employees and trusted suppliers who have donated to this important cause.

“Through your generosity, we have successfully reached our target which will help provide these refugees with the basic humanitarian needs they have been stripped of.”

The British Red Cross is responsible for providing food, water, first aid, medicines, warm clothes and shelter to the Ukrainian refugees and every donation could save a life.

The fundraising page is still active, and the hotel group’s directors are still encouraging people to donate.

To donate, visit www.justgiving.com/fundraising/lakedistricthotelsukrainecrisis.

Lake District Hotels runs the Lodore Falls at Derwentwater, Inn on the Lake at Ullswater, Borrowdale Hotel and Keswick’s Inn on the Square, Skiddaw Hotel and Kings Arms Hotel.
