This last year has been hard for everyone, for many, it has been a year of missing loved ones, postponed special events and virtual catch-ups. Due to social distancing, many of our local charities have postponed or cancelled their fundraising events – leaving them in needs of funds for the vital services and support they provide for our local communities.
At PREMIER SUITES, we wanted to do our part and help to raise money to benefit two amazing charities. On Saturday 8th May, we are participating in Darkness Into Light to raise funds on behalf of Pieta and ReThink, supporting those impacted by mental illness.
PREMIER SUITES teams will be taking an early morning walk or jog to watch the sunrise. A very special moment and a symbol of hope, warmth and the promise of a brighter day ahead.
Mental Health Awareness Week UK will take place from 10th -16th May, with nature as the theme for this year’s annual event. We invite you to join us on May 8th to take in your surroundings, the sunrise and focus on achieving good mental health.
