These partnerships are highlighted in the brochure, including initiatives like the Down's Syndrome Association’s WorkFit program, Aurora Foxes training college, and Newlands Bishop Farm in Solihull, which helps individuals with learning disabilities and mental health conditions develop skills through work-based learning. Aligned with Hilton’s ESG strategy, Travel with Purpose, and its goal to create five million learning and career growth opportunities, ‘A Place for Everyone’ aims to help provide both events and hospitality placements as well as permanent roles for individuals from diverse backgrounds. The initiative is designed as a ‘sharing’ campaign, encouraging other hotels and venues to adopt similar actions and collaborate with businesses already pursuing successful inclusivity approaches.
