Sonrisa Médica
The Zafiro Hotels team firmly believes that the best experiences are the ones enjoyed in our hotels, but they are also in the things we do for charity to help out and make a difference in our local community. We’ve been working with Sonrisa Médica for a number of years, supporting what they do to bring some joy and hope to kids in hospital in the Balearic Islands, and we’re extremely proud to lend a helping hand in their extremely valuable work.
Thanks to the support of our hotel teams and the generosity of our guests, this year we’ve raised €32,500 to help them continue helping kids to get through such difficult moments with a smile.
One of the most memorable moments about this partnership for us was when the “Sonrisa Médica” clowns visited our offices. Their contagious energy and fantastic sense of humour gave everyone a great laugh and reminded us how important the work they do every day is. Their spirit and sense of fun had an impact on all our team, making us even more determined to continue supporting such worthy causes.
“Sonrisa Médica” is also celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Three decades spent filling hospitals in the Balearic Islands with hope and big smiles. The Zafiro Hotels team would like to congratulate them on their incredible journey and thank them most sincerely for all their hard work, their passion and the positive impact they have had on so many lives. May laughter continue to be the best medicine for many more years to come!
More support for local communities
But that’s not all we’re doing to help others. For many years we’ve also supported other projects, such as “Un Lazo en Movimiento” in their work to combat breast cancer. The support of our employees this year has raised €1,000 for the organisation, and we also provided a free stay for a prize draw for all those attending the ULEM 2024 Gala. This donation has helped create a new €10,000 scholarship to research into metastatic breast cancer at the University of the Balearic Islands.
In November the #ZafiroTeam also joined the first march in Palma organised by the Spanish Association Against Cancer and the Mallorca Hotel Federation to raise funds for cancer research.
We are also highly focused on everything we can do to promote sustainability. We continue to work with the Renetas project to transform the inflatables that are left on beaches and in our hotels into useful new and sustainable products. This project is part of our efforts to support the circular economy and boost the protection of our environment.
And at this time of year, the excitement that surrounds Christmas also leads us to think a little more about the little ones. Zafiro Hotels team members have once again supported the Tree of Dreams project that aims to bring a little bit of joy to kids in difficult situations and the Christmas presents they have always dreamed of.
Corporate Social Responsibility
Corporate Social Responsibility at Zafiro Hotels is not just a “project”, it’s a framework of ethical and moral values that guide all of our activities. This is reflected not only in our long partnership with “Sonrisa Médica”, but also in so many other community support activities that we take part in whenever we have the opportunity. We firmly believe in giving back to society a part of what we receive, supporting causes that generate a positive and lasting impact.
We thank everyone involved for joining us on this journey of support and solidarity. Together we aim to continue to work to make sure we help create a world where every smile counts.
