The grant will be used to further the charity’s work to provide assistance to hospitality professionals by giving financial assistance and advice to those facing hardship, illness, injury, financial difficulties and family crises.

We’re honoured by this recognition and are grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with Chick-fil-A as they join us in serving the UK.”
