Hospitality charity, Only a Pavement Away has announced ‘cook & dine’ fundraiser with Searcys. It will take place on 24 September at the Honourable Artillery Company (HAC) in London.
The annual fundraising lunch, brought to life by The HAC and its in-house caterer Searcys, is designed to support the charity’s mission to rebuild lives through employment opportunities in the hospitality sector.
The lunch will take place in the Prince Consort rooms, showcasing the sector’s talent, with the menu designed by Michelin-starred chef and Only A Pavement Away Patron, Tom Aikens.
Guests will have the opportunity to interact with industry leaders, including Searcys MD Paul Jackson, and volunteers from diverse backgrounds as they work back- and front-of-house to prepare, serve and enjoy the dining experience.
Jackson said: “At Searcys we are proud to be an employer and funding partner of Only A Pavement Away, collaborating with the charity year-round to offer individuals a supportive environment to work in and the stability they need to get their lives back on track.”
Greg Mangham, CEO of Only A Pavement Away said: “The money raised from this event will be used to support our members. The generosity and support of Searcys has been amazing and has allowed us to grow the event capacity by hosting it for the first time in this exciting venue. We look forward to welcoming everyone at the HAC in September.”
