Latin Routes has launched a Christmas gift appeal to support families affected by the current crisis in the travel industry.
This year, Christmas will be a tough festive season for many families belonging to the travel industry, whose jobs have been affected by the impact of COVID-19.
To alleviate the stress on such families, Latin Routes is urging the public to support the industry by buying a pre-selected gift for a child from their gift list or donate a few pounds to the Latin Routes Christmas Appeal. The Latin Routes team will then wrap and deliver the gifts in time for Christmas.
Latin Routes is also encouraging industry colleagues to nominate children in families hit by redundancies or reduced hours in travel.
Jess Dennison, co-founder and head of trade at Latin Routes, said: ?The Travel industry has been devastated by the impact of Covid-19. Over 90,000 people have lost their jobs, including many of our friends and colleagues. At Latin Routes, we have been racking our brains for an idea on how we could make a difference and support our industry and the families financially impacted by the pandemic. We?ve been absolutely overwhelmed with the amazing support we are receiving, in just three days since launching, we have had over ?800 worth of gifts, which will certainly make a huge difference for the families we are supporting!??
Supporters of the appeal can buy a pre-selected gift or donate at https://www.latinroutes.co.uk/christmas-appeal/
