Kicking off the year of events, Hospitality Action invites businesses to adopt the charity as their Charity of the Year, with a focus on long-term partnerships to create a sustained impact. Throughout 2025, the charity will host a wide range of fundraising and awareness-building events to encourage individuals and teams to get involved and give back.

Key 2025 calendar highlights include:

“Last year’s inaugural Bike to Care Gala was a remarkable success, raising over £100,000 for a fantastic cause, and we’re hoping to exceed that this year. I’m grateful to the incredibly talented chefs and our event sponsors for what promises to be an unforgettable evening in aid of Hospitality Action.”

Mark Lewis, Chief Executive of Hospitality Action said:
“Our events calendar creates meaningful opportunities for people to come together, raise awareness and make a real difference. The wellbeing of those working in the hospitality industry is at the heart of everything we do at Hospitality Action, and these events are vital in helping us provide much-needed support, whether through mental health support, the management of day-to-day struggles, or financial assistance. We look forward to seeing our industry unite and once again challenge themselves in support of their colleagues who are struggling, to make 2025 another year of positive impact.”
