Sovereign & the Travel Foundation
World Care Fund
Every time you book a holiday with us you can make a donation to our World Care Fund. The rules are simple - give a pound to the World Care Fund and we'll match it. Your money goes towards projects run by our partners, The Travel Foundation and ClimateCare, that help make up for the impact holidaymakers have on the environment and support communities around the world.
Travel Foundation
These are some of the projects we support in partnership with The Travel Foundation, a charity that cares for local communities in our favourite holiday destinations by helping locals set up their own tourism businesses. The Travel Foundation's work is supported by many leading UK travel companies, including Sovereign.

We're training snorkelling guides in customer safety and environmental issues, and helping to develop an official snorkelling training certificate. The project's creating jobs for local people, protecting the marine environment and improving the quality of snorkelling in the area. Our customers' donations are also helping to train Bedouin people as desert guides, allowing them to benefit from tourism and giving tourists a more authentic experience.
MEXICO
The World Care Fund supports a programme led by the Travel Foundation and Ecocolors, which trains local guides and fishermen on the importance of Whale Shark conservation.
Our customers' donations have helped preserve traditional skills and create jobs for Mayan women in Mexico, so communities can earn a good income and keep their cultural heritage alive.
Our customers' donations are helping a water, energy and waste saving project in Cyprus. The Travel Foundation is working with the Hotel Associations to engage the hotel industry and help implement simple changes which conserve energy, water and waste. Over 300 hotels are involved.
