The UK Charity Partnership was set up to support and encourage The UK Holiday Group (UKHG) staff and their families to raise money for a wide range of charitable causes.
By pledging to match the fundraising efforts of UKHG staff and their families, up to preagreed limits, The UK Charity Partnership aims to turn the annual £10,000 company donation into at least £20,000 of real money that can be distributed to charitable organisations.
If you currently work for The UK Holiday Group, and either you or a direct family member has an idea on how to raise money for a UK registered charity, you can apply to see if you qualify for ‘Match-It’ support. Each year The UK Holiday Group Limited donates £10,000 into The UK Charity Partnership, so you really don’t have anything to lose!
Choose a cause that you feel passionately about and The UK Charity Partnership will match your own fundraising efforts pound for pound, up to a set prearranged amount! For example, if you raise £250 for your charity, we’ll add another to make the total up to £500! With the support of The UK Holiday Group you can really make a difference for your chosen charity. Complete the contact form to register your next fundraising event.
I am delighted to be able to fund the good work of The UK Holiday Group Charity Partnership. The wonderful loyalty and support shown by our staff is at the heart of our success, and The UK Charity Partnership recognises and rewards that special relationship by supporting their various fundraising achievements. I look forward to hearing all the fundraising stories, and seeing how our combined efforts are really making a difference to so many charitable organisations.

The members of The UK Charity Partnership Executive Committee meet on a regular basis throughout the year to consider requests for charity funding. Committee members have a broad range of interests and are eager to consider application for funding which supports a similarly broad range of worthy organisations and good causes. If you are an existing employee of The UK Holiday Group and would like to be considered as a future Executive Committee member, get in touch via the contact form and we will arrange to have a chat when a vacancy becomes available.
The UK Charity Partnership considers all registered charities for the ‘Match-It’ incentive, but have made a long term allegiance with The Silver Line. The Silver Line are the only UK charity with a 24 hour, 365 days a year freephone helpline to provide support for lonely older people.
We are thrilled that The Silver Line are so supportive of our partnership, Dame Esther Rantzen, founder of the charity, commented:
“I am delighted that Grand UK Holidays (The UK Holiday Group) has chosen The Silver Line as their charity partner and on behalf of everyone at The Silver Line, I would like to thank them for their amazingly generous support for our work. I regularly hear from callers who tell me how we have transformed their lives, by offering them friendship and making them feel valued when nobody else cared.
The need for our services has been proved beyond doubt but we are a charity and as such, rely entirely on donations to keep our services running.
If you feel you are able to help with a financial gift, however large or small, we would be extremely grateful” – Dame Esther Rantzen
