CLC World’s business aspirations have always been aligned with a sense of social responsibility. We are committed to helping, and actively support, charitable works and local causes.
Our registered charity, Fundación CLC World and initiative CLC World Charity Holidays are just two ways in which CLC World supports Spanish and UK charitable works and causes – donating money, time and accommodation to help those in need.
CLC World staff also actively participate in the company’s charity work through fundraising activities, donating goods and volunteering.

The latest news from the Foundation
Providing much appreciated family holidays away from the stresses of everyday life, CLC World Charity Holidays is designed to make a lasting difference to those who need it most, including disadvantaged, sick and terminally ill children.
For many, going on holiday is taken for granted but there are those for whom it can be a challenge. Since its inception in 2016, CLC World Charity Holidays has donated hundreds of weeks of accommodation and helped create lasting and cherished memories for families in the UK.
Caring for a relative or friend who lives with life-threatening or -shortening illnesses, being bereaved of a child or having to spend long periods away from family, mean that the opportunity to spend time away is a much-needed fillip.
By donating holiday accommodation to charities and individuals, either directly or through certificates for auction or raffle, CLC World Charity Holidays helps take the stress out of everyday life and has contributed to fundraising events that have raised more than £100,000 for many causes.
Since CLC World Charity Holidays joined up with Cystic Fibrosis Holiday Fund (CFHF) in 2016, 60 families have benefited from time away at CLC World resorts. CFHF’s Family Revitalise 2018 campaign will allow more families to receive much needed holidays.
Here, Laurie Howard, Director of CFHF, describes how CLC World’s collaboration offers families a real break from the daily schedule of treatments.
For military families, the time spent apart during tours of duty puts a strain on the family dynamic. Homecomings are often difficult for the family as they try to reconnect and find their rhythm.
Give Us Time helps service families reconnect and adjust after periods of separation due to long deployments, physical and mental illness and financial strain by giving them the chance to spend time together and re-establish their family bond.
During 2017, 21 families holidayed at CLC World resorts in the UK, Spain, Austria and Turkey, giving them precious time together as a family.
In 2017, CLC World Charity Holidays forged a new relationship with Dreams Come True offering multiple holiday prizes for auction and raffle.
Our ties with the charity will be strengthened further in 2018 with a big group trip organised to the CLC World resort, Regal Oaks in Orlando, Florida. Children with serious illnesses and who spend a lot of time in hospital, now have something to look forward to; an uplifting experience that they can focus on.
