Hospitality Action is the industry charity offering a crucial lifeline to people of all ages, working and retired. Whether approached by a chef, chambermaid, waiter or kitchen porter, we will endeavour to support, whatever the difficulty. Sometimes all it takes is a very small change in circumstances to tip the balance and turn a manageable situation into an unmanageable one. An extended illness such as cancer can lead to a drop in pay, while other circumstances such as a relationship breakdown, bereavement or redundancy can also put a strain on the household budget.

Hospitality Action provides a real lifeline to thousands of hospitality industry workers in need by offering grants, counselling and advice amongst other services. As the economy continues to struggle we receive tragic pleas for help on a daily basis and every year we assist more than 1,500 industry members across the UK. Indeed, our charitable spend is 44% higher than the same point in 2012 and 40% more applications for assistance have been processed by our dedicated grants team.

At this time of year, more than ever, we need to remember those in need. Your bids on the online auction and support over the festive season will enable us to help even more industry members in crisis. Happy bidding!

Hospitality Action is the industry's benevolent charity.
