Carefree's CEO, Charlotte Newman, was highly commended at the Natwest WISE100 Awards for top women in social enterprise.

We're delighted to announce that five of the UK's largest independent hotel chains have stepped forward to join our mission to provide every full-time unpaid carer with access to an annual break.

In a joint statement, the hotel partners, including Bespoke Hotels, Cycas Hospitality, Sleeperz Hotels, The QHotels Collection and Village Hotels, said:

"Through the pandemic, we've seen that tackling sustainability means more than just looking at what we can do at an environmental level. Unpaid carers provide the invisible backbone of our health and social care system, and they need time off. Together we can change how society reinvests in the people that look after our most vulnerable."
