Story
Christmas is a special time of year, but this year, it will be a tough festive season for many families in the travel industry whose jobs have been affected by the impact of COVID-19.
Latin Routes has launched a Christmas Appeal to support our industry colleagues, by offering a gift service for children of these affected families. We need your help to recommend children who would benefit from this service, as well as your donations and support.
The team (and Al the Alpaca) will match the gifts to the relevant children and have them wrapped and sent out in time for Christmas to the nominated children
Our hope is that this appeal will ease some of the stress and financial pressure that these families will be facing at this time of year and in these tough and uncertain times, we need to stick together, do something positive, and let people know that the industry is with them and supporting them.
How to donate?
You can either donate on this page and Latin Routes will buy a gift on your behalf and have it delivered in time for Christmas.
Alternatively, if you would like to choose a specific gift, please visit our Gift List where you can buy a specific gift that has been requested and it will be delivered automatically straight to us for wrapping and sending. Visit https://www.latinroutes.co.uk/Christmas-appeal/ for more details.
ALL DONATIONS WILL BE USED FOR THE CHRISTMAS APPEAL
