    One million donations made so far at The Entertainer have helped to improve services for children in hospital

    Donating a few pennies when you pay by card at the till point may not seem like much but to children sitting in hospital beds around the country this small action is making a huge difference.

    Fifty pence added to your online booking helps provide 1300 toy boxes to disadvantaged kids

    If you gave a child 50p and took them down to the shops, what do you think they could get? Probably not a lot – 50p hardly covers the cost of your average chocolate bar these days. The fact it’s such a small amount is probably why so many customers booking a room online with [...]
