A collective of hospitality industry representatives have launched Lunch4Ukraine in order to raise £100,000 for the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Ukraine appeal.
The event will be hosted and organised by JW Marriott Grosvenor House, London and will take place on 5 April.
Those supporting the event include UKHospitality, The Master Innholders, The Caterer, Gold Key Media, Custard Communications, Hospitality Action and the Institute of Hospitality.
Stuart Bowery MI, multi property general manager, JW Marriott Grosvenor House London, said: “The resilience of our industry over the past two years has demonstrated what we can achieve when we work together towards assisting a common cause. We wanted to bring our industry together to make a difference to the people of Ukraine facing an uncertain future.
“This lunch will serve as a catalyst to turn our focus to the ways in which our industry can provide funds, homes and jobs towards our neighbours in Ukraine as they face a time of immense crisis.”
In addition to the lunch, an online auction will be held until 8 April, promoting prizes from across the hospitality industry.
