That includes colleagues donating their time to worthy causes in the community, staff taking part in one of our many charity fundraising initiatives and property owners generously donating free holidays to families that really need them.\n<br> <br>\nI've been at the helm of this business for eight years now and Sykes has grown and evolved so much in that time. I have no doubt that we'll continue to drive that change, and our commitment to being  a business with purpose will endure.<br><br>Over the last 12 months, we've made significant progress, but we're not going to stop there. One of our core values is to 'learn, grow and innovate', and that's exactly what we'll do with our impact efforts.

It&#8217;s about having a meaningful impact on the people and places that make our destinations special.<\/p><p>This year we&#8217;ve dedicated time to volunteering, supporting biodiversity projects in the UK and elsewhere, and empowering our colleagues to drive positive change within their communities.<\/p><p>FY24 saw us raise more money than ever before for our charitable partners and achieve a record employee engagement rate with volunteering.<\/p><p>But our journey doesn&#8217;t stop here. In the years to come, we plan to find new ways to cut our carbon and plastic footprint, protect UK wildlife and landscapes, create more career opportunities and improve access to Britain&#8217;s best holiday locations for disadvantaged groups.\u00a0<\/p><p>We&#8217;re proud of the progress we&#8217;ve made and are excited about the opportunities ahead.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-304a8b7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"304a8b7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sykescottages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Sykes-Impact-Report-2024-updated.pdf\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"260\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sykescottages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Impact-Report-CTA-Banner.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-82929\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sykescottages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Impact-Report-CTA-Banner.jpg 940w, https:\/\/www.sykescottages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Impact-Report-CTA-Banner-300x83.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sykescottages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Impact-Report-CTA-Banner-150x41.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.sykescottages.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Impact-Report-CTA-Banner-768x212.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8826551 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"8826551\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-23b9fc0e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"23b9fc0e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>If this report has left you wanting to learn more visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sykescottages.co.uk\/blog\/category\/impact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Impact section<\/a> to keep up to date with our activities.
