Lake District Hotels proudly announces its partnership with Keswick Youth Centre Services (KYCS) as their chosen Charity of the Year for 2024. This collaboration marks the family-owned hotel group's commitment to supporting the local community and empowering the youth of Keswick to thrive.

Keswick Youth Centre Services (KYCS) is dedicated to enhancing the lives of young people throughout the broader Keswick area. By providing essential services and support, KYCS ensures that the youth have access to a safe space, engaging activities and valuable mentorship opportunities.

"We are thrilled to announce our partnership with Keswick Youth Centre Services as our Charity of the Year for 2024," said Dani Hope, Director of Lake District Hotels. "As a family-owned and operated group deeply rooted in Keswick, we are committed to giving back to our community and supporting causes that make a meaningful difference in the lives of local residents, especially the youth."

Lake District Hotels' dedication to local charities is demonstrated by their previous successful fundraising efforts. Most recently, the group raised over £7,500 for Jigsaw, Cumbria's Children's Hospice, in their previous charity campaign. Now, they are setting their sights on surpassing this achievement by aiming to raise upwards of £5,000 for Keswick Youth Centre Services.

Lake District Hotels has raised over £65,000 for five designated charities since its fundraising initiatives commenced in 2016. Additionally, the company swiftly raised £10,000 to aid Ukrainian refugees within a week of the outbreak of war in 2022. In 2023, they further demonstrated their commitment to important causes by raising an additional £10,000 for the Turkey/Syria Earthquake appeal in less than 48 hours.

Gary Lovatt, Trustee of KYCS said “We are thrilled to be chosen as Lake District Hotels 2024 Charity of the Year. All monies raised go directly to helping the Youth Club which works solely on the goodwill of volunteers and by donations and grants.”

“We want to ensure the town and surrounding area remains vibrant and becomes a place for our children to grow and gain employment. We look forward to working with Dani and her team for the betterhood of everyone in Keswick and the surrounding area in the months to come.”

Throughout the year, Lake District Hotels will conduct fundraising initiatives across all six of their hotels including the Lodore Falls Hotel & Spa and Borrowdale Hotel in the Borrowdale Valley; the Inn on the Square, Skiddaw Hotel and Kings Arms Hotel in Keswick and the Inn on the Lake at Glenridding.
