Forty team members from the sites and offices of London’s specialist caterer successfully scaled the three highest peaks of Scotland, England and Wales within 24 hours and raised £32,500 for the charity and social enterprise.
The money raised will directly support Luminary’s work in helping London’s most disadvantaged women – including those who have experienced homelessness, domestic abuse, violence or sexual exploitation, to rebuild their lives with training, employment and community support.
Phil Roker, Vacherin’s managing director, said: “It’s been a privilege to work with Luminary Bakery and the Luminary Charity for the past ten years. Through the wonderful art of baking, they are making a real difference.
“Their important work gives a safe space, opportunity and hope to women across the capital, at a time when they need it most. Everyone at Vacherin is incredibly proud to be part of the Luminary community and the team wholeheartedly embraced the call to make this milestone year in our partnership one to remember."
The milestone year has also seen the launch of the bakery’s central production kitchen – co-funded by Vacherin and its sister brand Company of Cooks. The new facility has enabled Luminary Bakery’s bakes to be served in more Vacherin sites as well as Company of Cooks venues.
