The two charities have given support to those working in the industry during the Covid-19 pandemic and continue to do so now. Tough Mudder will take place in South London on Saturday 24th September 2022.
Well-known names have signed up to the team including Neel Radia, immediate past chair of the National Association of Care Catering (NACC) and Fellow of the Institute of Hospitality, Christopher Dean from Procurement for Care, Sophie Murray and Stuart Keown from Signature Senior Lifestyle, Emma Dean from Principle Care Homes, Oliver Stockdale from NYX London and Matt Nicholas from Cleverchefs.
Radia said: “The idea came from a harmless conversation between friends. We wanted to do a challenge, that took us out of our comfort zones, whilst supporting two charities that do so much in our industry. We are all so nervous, and training has already started, for what will be an incredible experience, once we have complete.”
Throughout 2020 and 2021 The Care Workers’ Charity supported thousands of care workers through the toughest of times processing 1,214 crisis grants.
Giuliana Vittiglio, head of fundraising and marketing at Hospitality Action, added: “The past few years have been incredibly tough for UK hospitality workers and as the cost-of-living crisis worsens we continue to experience a high demand for our support. We are grateful to the team for undertaking this gruelling challenge in our honour, and in turn raising funds for all those undertaking their own personal challenges.”
