“Room to Reward has been such a fantastic initiative for us to say “ thank you “ to our volunteers.  As a hospice we are entirely reliant on the support of volunteers giving their time. Being able to show our appreciation is really important to us. Room to Reward is such a novel and meaningful initiative and I know the volunteers who have been beneficiaries have really been overwhelmed by the scheme. We are so very grateful to Room to Reward and their hotel partners for providing this unique way of saying “ thank you.”

"I have worked in the voluntary sector for 19 years and this has to be one of the best ways to express gratitude to volunteers for their gift of time. Without the volunteering heroes that give so readily for their fellow citizen, many people and charities would suffer or close as a result. If you have a strong vibrant voluntary sector, you have a strong vibrant community. Room to Reward supports volunteers in abundance. Your innovation in this project is remarkable. Thank you for making this dream come true for so many. What a wonderful charity you are - bringing a smile to people's faces."

"We are fortunate to have the support of lots of tremendously dedicated, passionate and talented volunteers, and it can be a little frustrating for us as staff that our budget cannot stretch to a way to thank them adequately. Working with Room to Reward is incredible as we are able to recognise those volunteers who really go above and beyond with a much-deserved trip away at some fantastic hotels. Volunteers volunteer their time because they care about a cause, but it’s really valuable for us as an organisation to recognise that care and thank our volunteers wherever we can – that way the volunteers are likely to feel motivated to volunteer with us for longer, and that’s very important not only for us, but for the young people we work with. Thanks Room to Reward!”

"If you have a strong vibrant voluntary sector, you have a strong vibrant community. Room to Reward supports volunteers in abundance. Thank you for making this dream come true for so many. What a wonderful charity you are - bringing a smile to people's faces."

"It's very humbling to be picked. It's an honour and a privilege to volunteer, but these breaks make it very special for people like myself. Thank you."

"Sometimes in life you don't realise what you've achieved until somebody else says 'Hey - look what you've done!' That's what the nomination to Room to Reward gave to me. It made me think: 'Wow, I really have done something here that made a difference.' I'm so grateful, we still talk about it."

“GLH Hotels are delighted to support Room to Reward as our chosen charity initiative. All too often, it is the quiet individuals that work tirelessly behind the scenes to support others, but get little recognition or reward. We all benefit from the hard work and dedication of these hidden heroes, and we’d like to personally contribute toward thanking them, by offering our hotels and services as part of the Room to Reward programme“

“New Forest Hotels are proud to partner with Room to Reward. With the relatively small gesture of donating our anticipated unsold rooms, we can make a real difference to a charity’s ability to motivate their volunteers. We have been impressed with the simplicity of the nomination and booking processes, and as a hotel partner we can ensure the programme makes allowances for our busy periods or days. It is a fantastic, flexible scheme.”

“When I heard about Room to Reward, I was immediately intrigued to hear more about the charity and how they recognize the unsung hidden heroes within our community. I soon realized that it is a fantastic initiative and I am pleased to support the scheme. We all know that there are so many volunteers doing great things for a particular registered charity and Room to Reward is such a simple and effective way to say of ‘thank you’, with a short break in a partner hotel. I urge all my hotelier colleagues to support the charity. “   

“An unsold hotel room can never be sold again. This was one of my first lessons at college and it really explains why all conscientious hoteliers should join in and support Room to Reward and help them to deliver all the good they are striving to achieve.  As hotel operators we are in a privileged position in that we are able to help reward those who truly deserve it in a big way, through a gesture which to us, is relatively small. Through this new Charity we are now able to use this privilege to the very best of uses, and I urge all my peers across the UK to get on board too”

“We are very excited about working with Room to Reward.  Being a partner hotels gives us the opportunity to reward deserving individuals who do so much behind the scenes in both our local and wider communities.  It is easy to make a nomination online and the simple booking system means the Hidden Hero can soon be enjoying a much deserved break.  A wonderful way of saying thank you!"

“What a great  concept to be able to give back to those that give so much to our friends and loved ones who rely on their kindness. Everyone must know a Hidden Hero that would benefit from a short breakaway from the extremely challenging job they have and Room to Reward is a very simple way of being able to say thank you. Well done Nick, Adam, David , Bob and the team at Room to Reward!"

“We are delighted to collaborate with Room to Reward, rewarding those selfless and passionate individuals who give up their time to help those in need. It is regretful but quite true that time can be a substantial restraint on the effect of our support to charities and their good causes, however this initiative allows us an opportunity to do more for those who truly deserve it. It is wonderful that we can host and look after such worthy individuals, allowing them some rest and recuperation , recognizing them for all they have done, and revitalizing them in preparation for further support to the charities.”

“We are excited to be part of Room to Reward. Inevitably, there are times during the year when our hotels have empty rooms, so we are delighted to use a handful of these to say ‘thank you’ to people who do so much for our society.”

“We are delighted to be part of this brilliant charity. Room to Reward is such a simple way to put rooms that would otherwise sit empty to great use. It’s an easy thing for hoteliers to be part of and we look forward to welcoming some Hidden Heroes.”
