In association with
Dear

At the time of year when many are drinking and eating out in droves, it is admirable to see charity initiatives getting much support in the hospitality community. CookForSyria is back and many restaurants are adding a £1 donation to bills, while some go further, with a special dish on the menu too to aid Unicef’s work.

As revellers make their way around our cities, it’s impossible not to see those less fortunate so the launch of this year’s StreetSmart campaign is very timely too. Participating restaurants will add £1 to bills, with the money going towards helping the homeless and those in insecure accommodation. More than 500 restaurants round the UK have signed up to get involved. As so often, CODE applauds the generous spirit of our industry.
 
A reminder that to receive CODE Quarterly magazine, packed with features, interviews and industry leading contributors, you need to subscribe here. For every sign-up until the end of the year, CODE will contribute £1 to each of the two charities above.

Have a good week.
