Earlier this month, we launched the #HostEnvironmentalPledge<\/a> 2019. The aim of the campaign is to reduce energy consumption at all Host locations across the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n

At the end of the campaign, as a result of reducing our consumption, we will donate money to our nominated charities; BulliesOut, Planet Patrol and World Land Trust.<\/p>\n
