Christmas has arrived in Bloomsbury, bringing with it a season of sparkle, celebration, and purpose. Kimpton Fitzroy London partners with Coram, the UK’s first and longest-serving children’s charity, to launch “Home Is Where The Start Is” – a heartfelt campaign supporting children living at risk with a fundraising goal of £10,000.
Alongside its glittering festive décor, including a showstopping 16ft Christmas tree and a charming Christmas Gift Shop featuring Coram’s hand-drawn cards, guests can indulge in the season’s finest flavours with festive afternoon tea, Christmas Day lunch, and New Year’s Eve dining at Fitz’s Brasserie.
HOME IS WHERE THE START IS: MAKE A DIFFERENCE WITH EVERY GIFT
“Home Is Where The Start Is” is a heartwarming campaign in support of Coram, the UK’s oldest children’s charity, raising vital funds and shining a light on the importance of every child finding a place to call home.
At the heart of the campaign is a limited-edition collection of Christmas cards, each one designed, painted, or drawn by local Bloomsbury children supported by Coram. Their artwork beautifully expresses what “home” means to them during the festive season, with proceeds of sales going directly to Coram to help children and young people in need of stability, belonging, and love.
“This Christmas, we wanted to create something that not only celebrates the joy of togetherness but also gives back to those who need it most,” says Garreth Walsh, General Manager of Kimpton Fitzroy London. “Our collaboration with Coram reminds us that ‘home’ is more than a place – it’s where every story begins, and that beginning can look different for everyone. We’re honoured to help share that message through the voices and artwork of children who are supported by Coram.”
The hand-drawn cards were created by local Bloomsbury schoolchildren supported by Coram. Through the charity’s work, vulnerable children are given the chance to grow, express themselves, and feel valued – just as every child should. Coram continues to change lives, laws, and systems to create better chances for children across the UK.
The Christmas cards will be available in the Kimpton Fitzroy London Gift Shop, where guests and visitors are encouraged to show their support by purchasing the limited-edition cards or making a donation to Coram during their visit. The shop will be open to guests and Londoners alike looking for something extra special this Christmas, with a range of merchandise perfect for gifting. Every purchase helps light another child’s path towards finding a home and, in turn, illuminates another floor of the hotel’s beautiful replica model in the gift shop, serving as a glowing symbol of progress towards the fundraising £10,000 goal.
Items purchasable at the gift shop include:
