I want to offer my holiday cottage to NHS staff for free

Hi,

I have a small but beautiful holiday cottage that I would love to offer to NHS staff who are working tirelessly on the front line.
I can only offer a week, but is there a way I can offer this?
Do other people currently do this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

That's a really nice idea. I've no idea who you'd contact, though.

You could speak to your local trust communication department? They have bulletins & emails that get sent out to staff that could share for you.

Maybe contact your local hospital charity and offer it in a raffle for staff? Tickets could be £1 and money raised supports the charity and staff get the chance for a free holiday in your lovely cottage? It's v kind of you x

There is a charity doing this but as accommodation for those self-isolating/not able to live at home.

Yes contact your local Hospital trust and they should be able to help. It's an amazing and lovely idea by the way.

I really like the idea of offering it as part of a raffle as that way you could offer it to lots of NHS staff at once and they all have a chance in winning it. The limitation is that you would probably need to offer more holiday cottages I think (which I obviously dont have!)

What is the charity that offers it for people self-isolating/not able to live at home?
