Supporting worthwhile causes

We also support a number of worthwhile causes including:

AquAid - We have provided funding for 28 elephant pump wells in rural Africa through AquAid. This funding has provided a sustainable supply of safe, clean, and productive water for 28 different communities, which has transformed the lives of over 6000 people enabling them to have a safe and sustainable solution to their water needs which will help break the cycle of poverty.   

Asthma UK – Asthma affects over 5.4m people in the UK. QHotels selected Asthma UK as its nominated group charity for 2010-2012. For more information click here.

The team raised £31,000 for Cancer Research. Ian nominated this charity as the beneficiary as his mother had recovered from cancer earlier in the year.
