Solo mission
Ever since Hays Travel was formed 35 years ago being part of the community and helping where we could has been part of our ethos. We come from deprived parts of the North East and whilst we have both been fortunate in our families and our upbringing we have seen at close hand how challenging life can be for some. All our shop mangers and retail colleagues are proud to be part of the communities where they are based and they work with local schools and other organisations delivering some fantastic projects. Our head office colleagues have an excellent track record too and have been supporting charitable causes for years. This is part of our team’s DNA and it always has been. We would like to build on that in creating the Hays Travel Foundation and working with organisations who support people who for one reason or another could not perhaps achieve their potential or even their quality of life without a bit of help. There are so many ways to do this but we have chosen young people as our focus and we would like to create opportunities for them to be the best that they can be with a bit of our support.
