‘It’s been a really good experience for us, hosting firefighters and survivors. You can see the difference it makes to the families and that makes it really worthwhile. There’s not much you can do from a distance in an awful situation like this, but what Cornwall can offer with these holidays is really worth giving.’ Sean Cattran, Trevarthian Holiday Homes, Marazion.
Thank you for joining our vision in this generous, practical way. So far nearly 500 Grenfell guests and firefighter guests have visited Cornwall through the scheme. This is the place to pledge individual holiday let accommodation. Although we'd love to, we are unable to accept rooms in private houses that are not normally let as B&B because of safeguarding compliance.
We work with the Fire Brigade and local support agencies to ensure ID verification of all guests. You will have accept/decline control and can opt out of the initiative at any point.
Follow us on FB or twitter on @cornwallhugs and watch the FB page for 'shout-outs' about specific firefighter (FF) or Grenfell Tower Residents (GTR) holiday needs. Please sign up to our newsletter on our website under NEWS - there you can see recent coverage and if you are signed up you'll get regular updates and shout-outs that way.
www.cornwallhugsgrenfell.orgYour details will not be passed to third parties except to specific guests to facilitate booking.
Thank you again for your generosity and kindness in joining this very special project. The holidays allow guests to feel seen and valued in their loss and to access what one mother called 'the indescribable natural therapy of Cornwall'.
