Abstract
Charity Hospitality Action has launched their Summer Challenge that calls on participants to walk, run or cycle 75,000 miles collectively and raise £150,000 in just 11 days.

A spokesperson for Hospitality Action said: “Whether it’s getting sponsored to complete your local park run, smashing a personal best on the bike, embarking on an epic dog walk or even organising a company-wide sports day, we need you to raise as much as possible per mile you cover to help us support an industry in crisis.

“We know times are hard for every individual and business in the sector, but we truly believe that raising £2 per mile is achievable if we all pull together.

"First it was the pandemic and now it’s the cost of living crisis destroying the lives and livelihoods of hospitality workers and their families. We know our industry will recover, but in 2023 more people are struggling than at any other time in the last 50 years and we’ve got to try our best to help.”

The £150,000 could:

  • Help 1,000 households with an emergency grant. To put food on the table in a time of crisis.
  • Provide 13,927 Kilowatt hours of heating. For a family struggling to make ends meet.
  • Help 300 households with a Household Support Grant towards rising cost of food and fuel.
  • Help 180 households at immediate risk of homelessness to clear arrears keeping them in their home
