Story

After the recent Thomas Cook failure over 9,000 UK employees have just been made redundant, many now relying of food banks to support them. Some employees are single mothers, families that all worked at Thomas Cook, on maternity leave, on sick leave or supporting another sick member of the family. The affect this has had on the public is devastating and enquiries has been flooding in since day one. We are only a small charity and are doing our very best to supply emergency support to those affected by bridging the gap until they find some sense of stability and security.

Just think if you had lost your job how long would you last without support? Not everyone has someone to fall back on and that's why we are here, we are the lifeline for those in dire need.

Even if you can only donate a few pounds you are making a difference to the lives of those less fortunate.

We accept applications of all employees of ABTA Members and these funds will not be limited to Thomas Cook. However due to the influx of cases coming in with the funds we already have in place we won't be able to sustain support for much longer! Make a difference by helping a friend, a colleague or a family member in need. If you have a little to spare this month, please share it to help those that have been left with nothing.

A big thank you for all your support, it doesn't go unnoticed. It is so very much appreciated!

If know someone that needs to apply for support please direct them to this page and get them to fill out our Urgent Assistance Form: https://www.abtalifeline.org.uk/thomas-cook-employee-support
