Suffolk hotel chain partners with child abuse support charity

Why it matters: The collaboration will help Brave Futures expand its services for vulnerable children and young people in the local area, with funds raised going directly to support their work.

The details: The partnership launched with a family-friendly Spring Half Term Afternoon Tea event at the Salthouse Harbour Hotel. The fundraiser included:

• Entertainment for all ages

• Activities for children

• Under-5s eat free

• Automatic entry into a raffle to win an overnight hotel stay

What they're saying: "We're thrilled to partner with Brave Futures. We understand the importance of supporting the local community and are proud to help raise awareness for an organisation that works tirelessly to support local children and young people who have experienced the trauma of sexual abuse," said Danielle Abreu, Group HR & Marketing Manager.

Hannah Walker, Fundraising and Marketing Manager at Brave Futures, said: "As a charity that supports some of the most vulnerable children and young people, we're not always the first organisation that comes to mind for support due to the sensitive nature of what we do."

The bigger picture: Brave Futures provides support services for children and young people across Suffolk and Norfolk who have experienced sexual abuse.

What's next: The afternoon tea event marks the first of several planned fundraising initiatives during the two-year partnership. Bookings can be made at www.salthouseharbour.co.uk
