Well what a 12 months it has been for everyone since we hosted the inaugural Shortyz Awards. This year we are still determined to celebrate and recognise the very best in the short term rental sector on 22 April at a free to attend virtual ceremony. We have had a staggering 400 plus nominations across the 18 awards categories.

By offering The Shortyz Awards ceremony for free VIRTUALLY - we are hoping those that can will help support fellow hospitality workers through this great charity, so as the short-term rental sector we stand with the entire hospitality industry.

When the first lockdown began last March, Hospitality Action helped many thousands of hospitality households in financial crisis. Just as in March, today millions of hospitality workers can’t go to work, and many thousands have lost their jobs for good. Throughout the last ten months Hospitality Action has worked tirelessly to help as many people as possible by providing emergency grants to keep food on the table, to assisting vulnerable industry retirees access local support, and by providing mental health resources for those who have struggled during the crisis.

•          £25 pays for an hour of telephone support. Providing a listening ear for those struggling with the impact of COVID-19.

•          £100 pays for new interview clothes and shoes to help hospitality people get back to work following redundancy.

•          £250 provides an emergency grant to cover essential costs like utilities and food following redundancy.
