A collective of hospitality industry representatives has launched Lunch4Ukraine in order to raise £100,000 for people affected by displacement and conflict in Ukraine and highlight the Homes for Ukraine humanitarian visa pathway.
Hosted and organised by JW Marriott Grosvenor House London on 5 April with the support of the Institute of Hospitality, The Master Innholders, The Caterer, Gold Key Media, Custard Communications, Hospitality Action and UKHospitality, Lunch4Ukraine aims to raise money for the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) Ukraine appeal.
DEC is operating in Ukraine and neighbouring countries meeting the needs of all refugees and displaced people. With 4 million people expected to be displaced by the Ukrainian crisis, the money from the ticket sales will help provide direct aid to those who need it most.
Stuart Bowery MI, Multi Property General Manager, JW Marriott Grosvenor House London said: “Across the hospitality industry, many of us are already showing incredible support to Ukraine through providing donations and refuge to those needing accommodation, as well as jobs.
“The resilience of our industry over the past two years has demonstrated what we can achieve when we work together towards assisting a common cause. We wanted to bring our industry together to make a difference to the people of Ukraine facing an uncertain future. UKHospitality is already working with the Government to coordinate offers of support and this lunch will serve as a catalyst to turn our focus to the ways in which our industry can provide funds, homes and jobs towards our neighbours in Ukraine as they face a time of immense crisis” said Stuart.
Lunch4Ukraine will take place in The Great Room at JW Marriott Grosvenor House London on 5 April 2022 at 12:30pm, with a three-course lunch created by chefs Nigel Boschetti and Richard Corrigan served at 1pm.
