Unilever Food Solutions donates chef jackets for South Africa tour

In association with the Welsh Culinary Association, the tour aims to raise money to provide food to feed underprivileged children in South Africa and promote awareness of the need to prevent poverty. Chefs from around the globe will embark on the 10-day tour from 21-30 August, which is being organised by the South African Chefs Association with support from (WACS). Starting and ending in Johannesburg, the tour will travel across the country visiting various cities. The chefs will take part in food festivals, demonstrations and feeding schemes, culminating in a gala dinner where donated items will be auctioned to raise money. Ray Lorimer, executive chef of the culinary services team at Unilever Food Solutions, said: "We're delighted to have recycled some of our old chef jackets to support this worthy cause. "In fact, I can't think of a better one. Not only does it equip the chefs on tour to promote awareness and raise money to supply South Africa's underprivileged children with food, but it's also a great sustainable exercise that ensures these jackets have a second life."
