Blog. Peter's Story.

We support people in hospitality through a wide range of challenges, from financial grants for life-changing home adaptations after illness, to addiction support, to simply being there during tough times, like we were for Peter. 

Peter’s hospitality career was thriving, rising from manager to general manager at some of the industry’s top restaurants. But life took a heart-breaking turn when his eyesight began to fail, and he was diagnosed with two brain tumours.

Despite the devastating diagnosis, Peter kept working. The emotional and physical toll of chemotherapy was overwhelming. That’s when he turned to us.

At Hospitality Action, we offered Peter the support he needed — someone to talk to, a shoulder to lean on and a constant reminder that he wasn't alone.

If you or someone you know in hospitality is struggling, we've got you.
