Advantage Announces Plans For Its 2024 Big Celebration Lunch

The Advantage Travel Partnership has announced that its highly successful annual Big Celebration Lunch will take place this year on Friday 6th December at 8 Northumberland Avenue in central London.

Business Partners and suppliers of Advantage have now been invited to sponsor tables and invite Advantage members to be their guests for the afternoon.   Around 300 guests are expected to gather at the event for a 3-course lunch, drinks and entertainment, with awards presented to mark outstanding achievements over the past 12 months.

Kelly Cookes, Chief Commercial Officer, Advantage Travel Partnership, said: “Our Big Celebration Lunch gets bigger and better every year, and we are planning for this year’s lunch to be once again the perfect balance of fun, celebration and recognition.  Last year our collaboration with the Salvation Army was so successful that we will once again be using the event to further demonstrate travel as a force for good and highlight the positive social impact the travel industry can have through charitable partnerships.”

At its Big Celebration Lunch in 2023 more than 1,000 gifts were donated to The Salvation Army by Advantage’s members and business partners in support of the charity’s Christmas appeal.  This year, the Partnership has chosen to support the Croydon-based charity, Children’s Hospital Pyjamas, who collect donations of brand-new pyjamas for hospitals, hospices, and women’s refuges up and down the country.

Charmaine Green, Founder, Children’s Hospital Pyjamas, said “We are over the moon that Advantage has chosen to support us at this lunch, and this will be our first-ever corporate event. No child wants to be in hospital, but if they have to be, they do not want to be wearing a hospital gown. Children arrive in these situations for all manner of reasons without pyjamas, maybe an unexpected stay, or simply they don’t won a pair of pyjamas. We aim to spread love through comfort. We strive to ensure that all children in need who are inpatients in our receiving hospitals for whatever reason, can be gifted a brand-new pair of comfy pyjamas. The pyjamas are donated and sent with love, so that each child who receives a pair, knows that someone is wishing them a speedy recovery and is thinking of them.”

Cookes added: “As last year we will be asking all those joining us the event to bring with them a pair of pyjamas to donate to this wonderful charity. Last year members and business partners supported the initiative whole-heartedly and we know they will again this year.”
