Journeys are about more than memorable places and experiences. They’re an opportunity to make a positive, often life-changing difference.
We believe thoughtfully crafted travel should be a force for good on so many levels. Not simply scratching the surface, but delving deeper to really honour the people, places and communities you visit. It could be preserving historic landmarks, protecting wildlife, supporting children’s charities or keeping traditions alive. By listening and curating an itinerary around your interests, we can channel your impact to the causes that matter to you.
Many historic homes, museums and landmarks may not be here tomorrow without visits and donations. Purposeful patronage deepens the connection our guests have with these iconic sights so that they’re here to inspire generations to come. From the London Transport Museum and Hever Castle, to Skara Brae, and Monet’s House and Garden in Giverny, we help you create a lasting legacy around places that mean something special to you and your family.
Stepping behind the scenes of The Changing of the Guard is an unforgettable experience: meeting the soldiers, donning the iconic bearskin cap, hearing tales of ceremony and combat. For our guests, this is often one of their favourite moments from any London visit. While for The Guards Museum it provides a valuable income that helps safeguard its precious collection, long into the future.
For one family, we threw open the doors of Hamleys. Before the crowds arrived, our clients were given free rein to play, explore and shop at one of the world’s greatest toy stores. But there was also a poignant side to the fun. For every gift they purchased, an identical item was donated to the local children’s hospital, with NoteWorthy taking care of every detail.
There are many small, dedicated charities that rely on donations. Together with our guests, we support these causes that remain close to our hearts.
Founded by Edward Cecil Guinness in 1890, the Iveagh Trust is the oldest housing charity in Ireland. The Trust provides over 1,640 homes around Dublin, offering a range of housing options to families, elders and people experiencing homelessness.
At Christmas, through the support of our NoteWorthy guests and their visits, the Iveagh Trust was able to distribute food hampers, give support packs to women affected by domestic abuse, and update the WIFI routers across homeless shelters in Dublin.
The New York based St George’s Society holds a special place in our hearts at NoteWorthy and we regularly contribute to their auction events and initiatives with tours and experiences. Established in 1770, this charity provides vital assistance for vulnerable New Yorkers in need.
From the Victorian era to today, during world wars and welfare campaigns, the Dog’s Trust has looked after our canine companions. It finds loving homes for dogs, helps to build bonds with adoptive owners, provides support to those experiencing hardship and promises a lifetime of care for our four-legged friends. NoteWorthy’s own canine companions are always by our side, and so this is a cause that is especially important to us all.
Travel gives our clients a rare and wonderful window into a community’s authentic culture and craftsmanship. It could be learning sheep herding in the Scottish Highlands, experiencing whiskey tasting along the wild West Coast of Ireland, picking grapes in a French vineyard or exploring the coves of Cornwall in an RNLI lifeboat. Thoughtfully curated, these adventures go deeper into destinations, and help keep their treasured traditions alive.
We aim to tread lightly and believe in responsible tourism at every step.
Last year, NoteWorthy donated over £750k to good causes, helping to preserve the heritage, nature and spirit of places each time we leave them.
The UK, Ireland and France are dotted with sublime, sustainable places to stay. Many are trailblazers in responsible tourism, using biomass boilers or biodynamic farms, organic ‘field to fork’ produce and reusable packaging. These thoughtful and sustainable stays invite you to tread lightly and connect with nature in a deep, meaningful way.
Truly bespoke, designed with distinction. NoteWorthy stories are unforgettable because they belong to you.
NoteWorthy is proud to be a Virtuoso Preferred Partner and to have been awarded A-Lister status by Travel + Leisure, as well as winning the Condé Nast Traveller Top Travel Specialist for Great Britain & Ireland award since 2014.
