We're giving something back!
From supporting our local communities, how we buy sustainably, to recycling and charity events...we're on a journey...a journey as holiday heroes to make things better!
Away Resorts is committed to giving back! Each year, our employees choose which national charity they'd like us to support - through dedicated fundraising and events. As well as this, we'll also support local businesses and local heroes that deserve some love! All badged under 'Hug a Hero'.
We're also dedicating more time to how we buy and source our products - from building materials, to the food we serve, to recycling initiatives on the park. Our welcome goodies for example that can be found in all Exclusive accommodation are ethically sourced and recycable, as well as a sustainable bag for life with complimentary toiletries that are vegan friendly, and cruelty free! The businesses we buy from are also committed to giving back and that's important to us too.
Plus, as well as our ongoing replacement of park vehicles and buggies to electric or hybrid (where possible), we are now using Bio-LPG blend Calor Gas saving about 162 tonnes of carbon annually!
Giving back and sustainability...
Fundraising for Mind

10K walk for Multiple Sclerosis Society
In September 2021, our Commercial Marketing Team walked 8 miles together to help raise an incredible £1,082 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. This money helps to fund vital research as well as help to support those living with the condition. And to match the MSS brand colours, the team were all dressed in orange!
Love Our Planet
We're on a journey to ensure that the carbon we create, is our problem to make right. We 'love our people, and protect our planet' and we want to make the future amazing for everyone!
Partnership with Surfers Against Sewage
We're excited to announce we've partnered with Surfers Against Sewage - helping to take action, shouting loudly for our oceans!

Planting with Creating Tomorrow's Forest
We’re committed to fighting climate change, and doing our part to protect the planet. We know that even the smallest change can help to make a big difference, so by working with Creating Tomorrow's Forests we can help offset some of our carbon footprint by planting trees and creating change.

How we Buy
From replacing bulbs with LED, to the products we buy to build - we're trying everyday to improve!
Recycling
All old printers or tech are recycled/donated to local schools, and we're reducing paper usage where possible

We choose suppliers that also do their bit to give back too - Nisa, Biffa, Good Earth Tea just to name a few.
Planting Trees!
For every holiday home we sell, we plan to plant a tree in the UK working with Creating Tomorrow's Forest

Energy efficiency
All new developments are being built with the latest energy saving technology

Doing our bit
We have recycling initiatives in our Hemel central support office & Biffa recycling points across our parks

Plus:
- From the 1st January 2022 we will have no single use plastics in our bars.
- By end of 2023 we plan to no longer accept supplies packaged in single use plastic.
- We're in the process of exploring recyclable uniforms to be worn across our parks.
- We're working closer with caravan and lodge manufacturers to promote how we’re all being more sustainable and doing our bit to help the planet.
- In our exciting new development at Mill Rythe Coastal Village we are installing a brand-new natural airflow system instead of electric-powered air handling units. This natural airflow system is PV powered, and we love it!
- Our lovely new playgrounds at Boston West & Mill Rythe are being built from natural wood from a renewable source.
- We have also recently installed PV at Boston West and will be keeping our customers informed as to how much power is produced each day.
How our customers can help:
- We’re working closely with Biffa to ensure we increase the recycling of our waste. Look out for how you can do your bit when staying, making sure you use the right bags and bins provided.
- We encourage you to bring your own coffee cups and we’ll fill them up for you! Plus, we have no plastic straws on any of our parks!
