Free forest holiday for NHS and healthcare workers to say thank you

Forest Holidays has joined the worldwide #MyTravelPledge campaign, launched to give something for healthcare workers to look forward to, and boost morale, at this hugely difficult time.

The company will offer its immediately available cabins to heroic healthcare workers who are working tirelessly to care for others during the pandemic.

NHS and healthcare workers who are interested in registering for their free Forest Holiday simply need to email [email protected] with their contact details, job role and preferred location.

Once Forest Holidays is able to announce a date for re-opening they will be in touch and allocate breaks on a first come first served basis.

Bruce McKendrick, CEO of Forest Holidays, said: “While our locations remain closed, we wanted to give something back to NHS and healthcare workers who are working so bravely and tirelessly on everyone’s behalf.

“So we decided to join the brilliant #MyTravelPledge campaign.

“We hope the free breaks we’re offering will give those who need it most the space to switch off and recuperate even if it’s just for a short while.

“It’s a small gesture but it’s our way of saying thank you to some truly incredible people”.

Ian Rutter, of #MyTravelPledge, said: "Forest Holidays is representative of everything we are hoping to achieve through the campaign.

“We all need something to look forward to."
