Former Funway managing director Melissa Tilling is poised to launch a travel company which will invest its profits into good causes, as well as giving clients the opportunity to donate to their preferred charities upon booking. 

Experiences include dog walking at an animal shelter in Greece

Charitable Travel – a community interest company – will launch as a Worldchoice Plus member in April.

It will both retail and dynamically package worldwide holidays direct to the consumer via homeworkers and a call centre, with a view to potentially also functioning as a tour operator in the future.

Tilling said Charitable Travel would be as “competitively priced as anyone” – despite customers being able to easily donate a portion of their holiday cost to a charity of their choice – thanks to a unique model, which remains under wraps.
