LYTHE Hill Hotel staff and guests have raised an impressive £3,257 for Stepping Stones School in Hindhead, from 2019 charitable events – primarily Haslemere Christmas Market and Haslemere Hounds.

The hotel is committed to raising as much money as possible for the special needs school and forging closer links.

It is starting a programme to give students opportunities to gain work experience across the hotel.

General manager Matthew Davies said: “It is both a pleasure and an honour for us to be associated with Stepping Stones School. I look forward to working even closer in 2020.”
