Gourmet Society has announced a brand-new charity partnership with Action Against Hunger.
The partnership is the first of its kind for the UK dining group, who have committed to raising a minimum of £120,000 for the humanitarian organisation over the next three years.
Gourmet Society’s fundraising activity will include hosting a selection of charity events throughout the year, as well as donating a percentage of its sales to Action Against Hunger. Between 18th September and 3rd October this year, for every Gourmet Society membership sale, there will be a £5 donation made to the charity and its work to save the lives of malnourished children around the world.
Matt White, Director of Fundraising and Communications at Action Against Hunger, said: “We’re extremely grateful to Gourmet Society for choosing to support us. The money raised will go towards our vital work helping children who are suffering with severe acute malnutrition, a preventable and treatable condition that still kills one million children every year. Gourmet Society’s commitment is set to make a huge difference.”
Matt Turner, CEO of Gourmet Society comments: “We wanted to help support an internationally recognised charity and we were attracted to Action Against Hunger’s holistic approach in delivering longer term solutions, by enabling people to provide for themselves and build prosperous communities. The team here at Gourmet Society is keen to help make a difference to the lives of children who aren’t as fortunate as ours, and this is why we decided to support them as our chosen charity.”
Action Against Hunger is a global humanitarian organisation, committed to save the lives of severely malnourished children and providing communities with access to clean water and good nutrition in over 50 countries worldwide.
Gourmet Society is one of the UK’s largest dining clubs, offering 25% off the total bill including all drinks, or either 50% off the food bill. As well as several thousand independent restaurants, participating chains include; Prezzo, Walkabout, La Tasca, Café Rouge, Bella Italia, Strada and Loch Fyne.
