Homes for NHS Support
Hogans Irish Cottages are proud to support the Homes For NHS initiative by providing accommodation for NHS staff during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in rural communities at a time when they are most needed.
We are working together with thousands of our property owners as to help the NHS fight against Coronavirus, and we’ve been humbled by their support in these uncertain times.
NHS Homes, the scheme launched by the short-term rental sector to initially offer free accommodation and amenities to NHS key workers in London, has rapidly expanded its capacity and geographical reach thanks to several new members joining.
Rocio Lane is the founder and CEO of on-demand vacation rental cleaning company Cleancio.
Born and raised in Bolivia, the Hispanic entrepreneur fell in love with the industry because of the possibility it held for innovation. She hosted Airbnb properties and engaged with the host side of the industry for years before realising there was room for improvement on the side of property management and housekeeping operations. The pursuit of her passion for housekeeping would later grow into the high-quality service for short-term rental businesses and hosts that it is today.
Lane is also an alumnus of Chicago-based WiSTEM, the 1871 accelerator programme for female entrepreneurs. The rigorous 12-week programme includes curated programming, mentorship, and facilitated introductions to key corporate and venture partners, culminating in a community showcase event open to Chicago’s tech leaders, supporters and potential investors at 1871.
Whilst we appreciate the need to be careful about when and how the hospitality industry, and specifically the accommodation sector, reopens, we also need to make sure that no business is disadvantaged in the meantime and that we work together to make 2021 a year to make up as much of the lost ground caused by the pandemic as we can.
