Wyboston Lakes Resort wins Green Initiative of the Year in major industry awards

Wyboston Lakes Resort has won Green Initiative of the Year at the events industry’s prestigious Famtastic Awards 2026 for its Room2Give scheme.

The conference, training and leisure venue was also Highly Commended in the Refurbishment or Rebrand of the Year category.

Room2Give gives guests staying more than one night the option to support one of three local charities instead of having their room cleaned. Guests choose their preferred charity by displaying a colour-coded door hanger, and a donation is made to the Room2Give fund.

The scheme has raised more than £70,000 since January 2025. Wyboston Lakes Resort has now opened it up nationwide as the Room2Give Charter, inviting hotels and venues across the country to sign up and help raise £1m for local charities.

The Highly Commended recognition was for the transformation of the resort’s Waterfront Hotel into the Drift Inn, with its Meeting Point meeting spaces.

Louisa Watson, Marketing Director & Sustainability Lead, said: “What a wonderful win! There is no better testimony to the hard work and creativity of everyone here than this award, because the judges include many of our customers and competitors, events professionals from across our industry.”

The Famtastic Awards 2026 were presented at a gala event at the Cedar Court Hotel, Bradford.
