Shiva Hotels has announced it has joined the NHS and Thames Valley Police in order to help “those most in need” during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The brand said that for many, including victims of domestic violence, exploitation, food deprivation, and key workers staying away from their families, “their normal has been completely eroded” as a result of the virus.
The brand said it has now delivered on providing support to key groups of people during this “difficult time”. Working with Thames Valley Police and local community groups, the hotels are providing a safe haven for those facing this “new normal”.
