ARTIST JACK VETTRIANO SUPPORTS CARE4CARERS FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN
A fundraising campaign launched to buy hotel breaks and treats for NHS workers and carers has received a boost today. Internationally renowned artist Jack Vettriano, probably best known for 'The Singing Butler', has pledged his support for Care4Carers by giving the team use of an original image – 'Mr Cool' - to use on vouchers which will be issued to worthy recipients.
Care4Carers is a Crowdfunding campaign set up to raise funds to pay for much-deserved breaks for NHS staff and carers once the Covid 19 crisis eases. The public are being invited to donate to the Care4Carers Crowdfunder campaign which will buy vouchers redeemable at member hotels across the UK.
Care4Carers has been created by Original Collection hotels, who are in the process of registering a charity. All Original Collection properties are involved, alongside an ever-growing selection of quality hotels from all over the country, with more hoteliers joining the campaign daily.
Nick Dent, Director, Original Collection says: "We're incredibly grateful to Jack Vettriano for his generous support. It's a beautiful image, reminiscent of carefree days and sunshine which is exactly what we're hoping to offer as many NHS workers and carers as possible."
For every £100 donated to care4carers by a UK taxpayer, a voucher for £150 will be issued to a carer. Hoteliers agree to top-up vouchers by 25% and gift aid adds a further 25%. So, the nation's heroes will receive 50% more than if the gift were given directly - £150 for every £100 donated by UK taxpayers.
Jack Vettriano says: "At times like these we all need to do what we can to help those who help us. Care4Carers does just that - harnessing the power of hospitality and kindness to do something great. I'm delighted to be involved with this campaign and hope the donations keep flooding in so we can treat as many NHS workers and carers as possible."
