YOTEL London City are opening their doors to local charities and non-profits this year for International Women’s Day by offering free working space for six months to a nominated group. Providing a fresh, engaging space to collaborate in central London, advance their work and provide inspiration and resources, YOTEL London City are joining this year’s #BreaktheBias theme for International Women’s Day.

As an added extra, the Clerkenwell hotel will offer the founder or leader of the organisation a complimentary overnight stay for two, as a small thank you for all of their work in the hotel’s local community.

A UK wide initiative, YOTEL are asking communities across London, Manchester, Edinburgh and Glasgow to nominate local organisations doing incredible work for or with women, offering one full day (subject to availability, 9am – 5pm) per month for groups to use however they wish – whether it’s a small non-profit working from home who need a meeting room, a group looking for an inspirational new working space or a local branch of a national charity hosting workshops, YOTEL will make them feel right at home.

To nominate a charity or non-profit in London, head to YOTEL London City’s social channels. Simply tag the organisation in the comments or share the post on your story and tag your chosen charity.

Entries will close 21 March 2022, before being whittled down to a shortlist of 5 organisations to be spotlighted on YOTEL London City’s social media channels across the month of April, offering support and exposure to the local groups.

The nominated organisation can kick off their free six months of working space from April 2022 – September 2022 with one day per month available.

In the heart of central London at YOTEL London City in Clerkenwell, the nominated group will win the use of a flexible meeting room with capacity of up to 10 people – just the right spot for some creative brainstorming, before a hot coffee in their elegantly-designed bar and restaurant Komyuniti.

Sahrette Saayman , VP Communications at YOTEL said:

“We’re excited to open the doors to YOTELs across the UK and collaborate with our local communities for International Women’s Day in 2022. We know there’s some inspirational work happening right on our doorsteps and we’re excited to lend a hand, whichever way we can.

“We also hope this campaign will help our local communities discover some incredible new non-profits or charities to support, and shine a light on the outstanding work they are doing across London, Manchester, Glasgow and Edinburgh.”

Aiming to give back to their local communities, YOTEL are throwing open their doors and collaborating with female-focussed charities and non-profits in 2022, offering an inspiring space to work, collaboration and perhaps a much needed break. Hoping to provide the organisations with room to grow in a welcoming environment, YOTEL London City are keen to hear from local groups about the ways in which they’d use the spaces.
