Michael Caines MBE , Michelin-starred chef and Patron of Hospitality Action has launched theHospitality Action Restaurant Appeal 2012.

The Appeal enables restaurants to show their commitment to its industry charity and raise much-needed funds, without having to spend a single penny. Hospitality Action, is looking to partner with a wide network of restaurants throughout England during its annual HA Fundraising Week, from 14th – 20th May.

Restaurants can help simply by encouraging diners to add a discretionary donation of £1 to their bill, for just one week, and help support those in crisis in our industry and make a real difference!

About Hospitality Action : As a Patron of Hospitality Action, Michael highlights how important the work of the charity is in offering vital assistance to all who work, or have worked within hospitality in the UK and find themselves in crisis. With ever increasing pleas for help, it is more important than ever that we raise even more money this year only with your help will this be possible.

We would love to have your restaurant on board for this appeal.
