The Belfry Hotel & Resort in the Midlands has announced the three very deserving charities it will be supporting during 2026. The Belfry’s fundraising efforts, and the sizeable ยฃ120,000 contribution, for its 2025 charity partners are to be applauded.ย The independent hotel is aiming to raise even more for the incredible charities it supports this year – all radiating compassion, kindness and community spirit…
The Belfry Hotel & Resort’s charity partners in 2026 are announced
These include St Giles Hospice, in Lichfield, which provides specialist palliative and end of life care and support, free of charge, to patients and families across Staffordshire, North Birmingham and the surrounding areas. Aspiring for a world in which everyone has fair access to end of life care, the charityโs dedicated team offers practical and emotional support and advice to ensure dignity and comfort for local people, and their loved ones, living with a terminal illness.
Elinor Eustace, Chief Executive Officer at St Giles Hospice, said: โWeโre absolutely delighted to be chosen as one of The Belfryโs charity partners for 2026. This partnership will make a real difference to our community. In 2024-25, we cared for over 2,600 people, with more than 80% of that care delivered in peopleโs own homes. With less than a quarter of our funding coming from the government, partnerships like this are vital to help us continue to be here for local people, and their loved ones, when they need us most. Weโre incredibly grateful to everyone at The Belfry for their support and canโt wait to hear about all their exciting fundraising initiatives!โ
For the third year running, The Belfry will be partnering with the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association, a national charity dedicated to helping individuals and families affected by MND, as well as improving access to care and funding research.
The award-winning resort, in Royal Sutton Coldfield, will also continue its long-standing support for Hospitality Action. Providing relief for hospitality workers in crisis, the charity is a safety net for its service users, supplying everything from financial assistance to mental health resources.
Chris Eigelaar, Managing Director at The Belfry Hotel & Resort, said: โWe selected St Giles Hospice as our local charity partner because of the strong personal connection many of our team members have with the organisation and the invaluable support it has provided to their families. Charity is a powerful part of who we are at The Belfry, and Iโm consistently inspired by the energy, creativity and generosity shown by our teams. Without them, it wouldnโt be possible to provide all our charity partners with the much-needed support. I canโt wait to see the imaginative initiatives they deliver this year to make 2026 our best fundraising year yet.โ
What does fundraising look like for The Belfry Hotel & Resort’s charity partners in 2026
Following the success of previous years, money will be raised through dedicated monthly events, planned and organised by departments resort-wide. With every department from greenkeeping, sales and front desk to finance, spa and security taking part. Last year these events included car washes, sponsored walks, golf challenges, though mudder events, marathons and competitions, to name just a few. The Belfryโs annual awards ceremony in January marked the start of fundraising year. One of the highlights will be the Belfry Classic Golf Day which will be making its triumphant return in May.
