This achievement celebrates the collective spirit of the hospitality community, who have come together in their thousands each year to help fund vital mental health and wellbeing support for individuals and families across the industry.
This October saw more than 1,400 people from across the industry – the most to date - unite for this year’s Walk for Wellbeing, raising £165,000. Participants gathered to take part in 20km hosted walks across the UK.
Hundreds of people also chose to ‘Walk It Your Way’ between World Mental Health Day on 10th October and 26th October, raising even more awareness and vital funds for this worthy cause.
Mark Lewis, chief executive of Hospitality Action, said: “Walk for Wellbeing is about so much more than walking - it’s about the hospitality community coming together to look after its own.
“The funds raised have a real, lasting impact, helping prevent homelessness, ease financial pressures and support mental health for our colleagues and their families. Since 2020, Hospitality Action has awarded over £5 million in grants, and initiatives like Walk for Wellbeing play a vital role in sustaining this support and ensuring it reaches those who need it most.”
The seventh annual Walk for Wellbeing will return in October 2026, with hosted walks planned across the UK.
