Support 50 for Free
Give someone in need an extraordinary escapeMake a donation

50 for Free offers free stays at Landmark Trust properties for charities and non-profit organisations.
With the help of our supporters, we give people in need a free holiday in a Landmark - offering a precious moment of respite, valuable time with loved ones, or a break from everyday life. We’re inviting you to support these much-appreciated breaks, which will take place in November 2025.

"Staying overnight away from home is an incredible achievement for our participants. Overcoming these barriers in a beautiful, interesting place has long term impact.”

“Family time outside of our own home so I (being a single foster parent) didn’t have to worry about chores.”

“My housing situation at home is quite difficult and it was great to be away from the noise and hassle.”
The Ripple Project
Now in its tenth year, the scheme has already benefitted 3,386 people. Each year, applicants choose from a selection of Landmarks across England, Wales, Scotland or even a trip by helicopter to stay on the island of Lundy. Some select their local Landmark whilst others opt for an exciting adventure further afield, enabling service users to take a short break that suits their needs.
This year, to celebrate our 60th Anniversary, we are increasing the number of stays from 50 to 60. But we need your support to make the scheme possible, and reach even more groups of beneficiaries, charity volunteers and support staff.

“I was able to relax in the bath and take all the time I needed, I can't do that at home.”
