The Holiday Franchise Company has launched the “Race for LifeLine” appeal to help play our part in supporting the ABTA LifeLine charity throughout the second lockdown. Luke Western our Head of Sales and Marketing plans to run 19 miles a week and Chris Storey the Training and Development Executive plans to cycle 190 miles a month until we hit our target of £1,900.

The Race for LifeLine campaign will help raise essential funds to allow ABTA LifeLine to help those who have lost their jobs or are facing other hardships because of the pandemic and the second lockdown.

ABTA LifeLine was set up to help people in the travel industry when they need it most.

Sometimes it only takes a small change in circumstance to tip the balance and turn a manageable situation into an unmanageable one.

We award financial grants to help colleagues suffering real financial hardship caused by life-changing medical conditions, bereavement, disability, domestic violence and everything in between.

From wheelchairs to emergency repairs, to help with essential daily living costs such as food and utility bills - nothing is too big or too small for us to consider.
