You stay, we donate
All around the world, homelessness is on the rise, with tens of thousands of people forced to sleep rough. Rough sleeping has risen sharply since the COVID-19 pandemic. According to housing and homelessness charity Shelter, in England alone, rough sleeping is up 74% since 2010.
Our communities need help now more than ever, which is why The Hoxton is relaunching its a Stay For A Stay homelessness support initiative this winter.
Book direct at any of our global Hoxtons between 16 November and 7 December, for stays between 15 December and 29 February, and we’ll match it with a night in a local shelter for someone facing homelessness.
Just by booking your own getaway during this period, you can hunker down at night knowing that you’re helping someone else stay warm and safe in any of our 15 city neighbourhoods.
