The Belfry Hotel & Resort, located in Royal Sutton Coldfield, North Warwickshire, has announced that it will be gifting 20 NHS workers and their families a complimentary break once restrictions are lifted.
The resort has joined the UK-wide campaign Operation Recuperation, which was launched in March 2020 by Rachel Sherwood to give healthcare workers “a light at the end of the Covid-19 tunnel” by offering them a free VIP overnight break.
Chris Eigelaar, resort general manager at The Belfry, said: “We are proud to join Operation Recuperation and support our healthcare heroes. It is just one way we can show our appreciation to the incredible NHS staff and say thank you for their extraordinary efforts as they risk their lives to fight the virus. We are looking forward to treating them to a well-deserved relaxing and luxurious break once we are able to reopen.”
Operation Recuperation has received pledges for complimentary stays from over 120 donors throughout the UK and overseas, benefitting 350 NHS workers with donations for stays across the UK from the Isles of Scilly to Scotland and overseas from Spain, India, and Barbados to Indonesia.
Sherwood said: “We’re so grateful to The Belfry Hotel & Resort for this superb donation. Being able to gift 20 NHS staff and their loved ones a stay in this resort will make such a difference.”
The NHS staff who will benefit from stays at The Belfry work at various hospitals in the area including Queen Elizabeth, Heartlands and Good Hope in Birmingham, Fairfield General in Bury, Manchester Royal Infirmary and John Radcliffe in Oxford.
