By taking part in the Walk for Calm they aimed to highlight the significant strain on mental health hospitality workers experience and to encourage the whole industry to support each other through to a brighter future.

Wonderful Communications are an events production company and when the pandemic hit was one of the first companies to reach out to us.
When the world seemed to stop during the national lockdowns, Wonderful Communications arranged a series of online and offline fundraising events which kept spirits high, spread lots of joy, and helped connect many people during difficult times.
They have gone on to raise over £1500 via their fundraising dinner to support our School Uniform Grant and £1,000 at their Summer Party.

Heartfelt thanks to The Master Innholders and St Julian Scholars for the outstanding donation of £15,000 to our #COVID19 Emergency Appeal. Thanks to the generous gift of the members led by longstanding supporter Danny Pecorelli we'll be able to help even more UK hospitality workers in crisis.

Yeastie Boys have supported HA throughout the pandemic by donating a portion of funds sold from their unique lagers and IPAs. As the pandemic continues so too does their support and as a new initiative, the Yeastie Boys have generously launched The Reflex box - Hospitality Action edition, a box full of their delicious modern lager with £5 per every dozen lagers sold donated.

Z Hotels have risen to the challenge on multiple occasions, most recently by generously supporting and taking part in the Walk for Wellbeing. Ros Young, People and Culture Director says: “In these challenging times it’s tempting to underestimate the power of what one individual or business can do. At Z Hotels we firmly believe we all have the potential to make a difference, and this is why we support Hospitality Action. While there is still work to be done, pulling together as a team, alongside the wider industry, is how positive change can be achieved, and we’ll be there every step of the way to lend a helping hand”.

The Zetter hotel are consistent supporters of the charity and an adventurous bunch to boot! A gang of eight courageous employees recently climbed the 3 Peaks in our honour, taking in the dizzy heights of Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon and we are proud to be their nominated Charity of the Year. The team said: "We are honoured to have a long-standing partnership with Hospitality Action, over the years we have seen the value of the services provided by the charity time and time again. We are grateful to have received valuable support and counselling for many of our employees to help them through financial, emotional or physical struggles. We also received vital guidance from Hospitality Action on to how to navigate through the pandemic as a business".
