P U R E I N D U L G E N C E
Welcome to <strong>the</strong> 12th edition <strong>of</strong> <strong>Hospitality</strong> <strong>Action</strong>’s newsletter re:action.<br />
It is my gre<strong>at</strong> pleasure to be able to write this introduction as <strong>the</strong> Chairman <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> hospitality industry’s benevolent charity.<br />
Having been a trustee for <strong>the</strong> past 4 years I was delighted to accept <strong>the</strong> role,<br />
following in <strong>the</strong> steps <strong>of</strong> Bob Cotton OBE, who has given <strong>the</strong> charity such focus<br />
<strong>and</strong> support in his time as Chairman. He will continue to support us in <strong>the</strong> role <strong>of</strong><br />
President <strong>and</strong> trustee. There have also been o<strong>the</strong>r changes within <strong>the</strong> charity with<br />
<strong>the</strong> retirement <strong>of</strong> Edward Middleton, who has been our honorary treasurer for 16<br />
years keeping HA finances on an even keel. I would like to welcome Richard Ball,<br />
managing director <strong>of</strong> Calcot Manor, on to our board <strong>of</strong> trustees. I am sure he will<br />
add gre<strong>at</strong> value with his knowledge <strong>and</strong> experience <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> industry.<br />
This edition <strong>of</strong> re:action upd<strong>at</strong>es all <strong>the</strong> news from <strong>the</strong> charity both in terms<br />
<strong>of</strong> fundraising <strong>and</strong> how we help our beneficiaries but I would like to draw your<br />
<strong>at</strong>tention to one particular item.<br />
Lesley Gardner, secretary to <strong>the</strong> Chief Executive, has been working with HA<br />
since she left school – an incredible 37 years. In January <strong>of</strong> this year she was<br />
awarded an <strong>MBE</strong> in <strong>the</strong> New Year’s Honours list for her services to <strong>the</strong> hospitality<br />
industry. Very well deserved congr<strong>at</strong>ul<strong>at</strong>ions to Lesley for her achievement – see<br />
page 7 for her story.<br />
On closing I would like to remind everyone th<strong>at</strong> during <strong>the</strong>se times <strong>of</strong> credit<br />
crunch <strong>and</strong> belt tightening, th<strong>at</strong> your industry charity needs your support more<br />
than ever. Requests for assistance continue to increase year on year from people<br />
in times <strong>of</strong> real crisis. Only with your continued help can we make <strong>the</strong>se people’s<br />
lives a little easier when <strong>the</strong>y need it most.<br />
I look forward to working with you all in my capacity as Chairman.<br />

for you <strong>and</strong> your team in helping make a contribution to <strong>the</strong>se charities.<br />
<strong>An</strong>d, in <strong>the</strong>se cost-conscious times, it’s important to reinforce th<strong>at</strong> Meal Appeal will not cost you a<br />

Family Members Lunches<br />
So far in 2008 we have been able to host Family Members lunches in London <strong>and</strong><br />
Taunton <strong>and</strong> as always <strong>the</strong>y were gre<strong>at</strong>ly enjoyed by our Family Members. These lunches<br />
allow us to build a better rel<strong>at</strong>ionship with our Family Members <strong>and</strong> for <strong>the</strong> Family<br />
Members it is an opportunity to be spoilt for a short while. At all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> lunches we were<br />
tre<strong>at</strong>ed like VIPS <strong>and</strong> for many it was a rare opportunity to enjoy such an event. Equally it<br />
allows <strong>the</strong> Family Members to meet new people from <strong>the</strong>ir area, giving <strong>the</strong>m a chance to<br />
reminisce <strong>and</strong> also make new friends.<br />
The Holiday Inn Mayfair has very<br />
kindly hosted 2 lunches so far this<br />
year in March <strong>and</strong> June <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong>re are<br />
2 more scheduled for September <strong>and</strong><br />
December. On 17th March our Family<br />
Members in <strong>the</strong> London area were<br />
tre<strong>at</strong>ed to a St P<strong>at</strong>rick’s Day celebr<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
including h<strong>at</strong>s!<br />

On 9th June our London Family<br />
Members were able to return to <strong>the</strong><br />
Holiday Inn Mayfair to c<strong>at</strong>ch up with<br />
friends <strong>and</strong> enjoy a sumptuous summer<br />
lunch. No h<strong>at</strong>s this time, but this did not<br />
stop <strong>the</strong>m from having a gre<strong>at</strong> time!<br />

On <strong>the</strong> 11th March we headed west to our first Family Members Lunch in<br />
Taunton. The Holiday Inn in Taunton cre<strong>at</strong>ed a gre<strong>at</strong> ambiance <strong>and</strong> laid on<br />
an impressive carvery to suit all tastes.<br />

As we were going to press we were in <strong>the</strong> midst <strong>of</strong> organising lunches <strong>at</strong> Calcot Manor near Tetbury <strong>and</strong> Beefe<strong>at</strong>er<br />
in Whitstable, Kent for our Family Members in each respective area. We will bring you all <strong>the</strong> details <strong>and</strong> photos in<br />

e:action Case Study<br />
Case Study<br />
Mrs Wedge - Cook - Aberystwyth<br />
In her own words, Mrs Wedge tells us why our help made <strong>the</strong> worst time<br />
in her life th<strong>at</strong> little bit more bearable...<br />
Dear Sir/Madam<br />
Paul my husb<strong>and</strong> died April 22nd 2006, only five weeks after having <strong>the</strong> diagnosis <strong>of</strong> primary liver cancer.<br />
Paul had worked very hard all <strong>of</strong> his life, doing thirteen hours a day as a Store Manager in <strong>the</strong> ‘Ideal Bakery’ for<br />
30 years. He was never ill <strong>and</strong> hadn’t been to <strong>the</strong> doctor for 17 years.<br />
Our four children <strong>and</strong> myself were absolutely devast<strong>at</strong>ed when Paul passed away <strong>at</strong> only 47 years <strong>of</strong> age,<br />
especially as my sister Dawn had died only three years before from lymphoma cancer <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> age <strong>of</strong> 44. Our<br />
children Simon, M<strong>at</strong><strong>the</strong>w, Lindsey <strong>and</strong> Selina, ages 22, 21, 16 <strong>and</strong> 8 were heartbroken to lose <strong>the</strong>ir wonderful<br />
Dad, who did so many hobbies with <strong>the</strong>m <strong>and</strong> was truly fantastic.<br />
When Paul died <strong>the</strong> only wage <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> household also went. Even though he hadn’t been on very good wages,<br />
we just about managed. In Aberystwyth <strong>the</strong> wages are very poor <strong>and</strong> we had a mortgage to pay as well. I had<br />
terrible trouble getting Widows Pension <strong>and</strong> had to wait for months for it to come through so your financial help<br />
has been wonderful.<br />
We have EPG Gas central he<strong>at</strong>ing which is very expensive to run <strong>and</strong> your help made sure th<strong>at</strong> I had <strong>the</strong><br />
money to keep <strong>the</strong> house warm. My two sons have left home but <strong>the</strong> 16 <strong>and</strong> 8 year old daughters still needed<br />
to go on school trips. Lindsey went on a geography trip for her A levels <strong>and</strong> Selina went to Pendine S<strong>and</strong>s with<br />
Llanfarian Primary school. Both <strong>the</strong>se trips were expensive <strong>and</strong> your help with <strong>the</strong> money was a gre<strong>at</strong> help.<br />
Thanks to your wonderful help I haven’t had to worry too much about money <strong>and</strong> th<strong>at</strong> makes things a lot<br />
easier even though emotionally we will never get over <strong>the</strong> way our Paul had to go <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> gre<strong>at</strong> loss without<br />
him. I would like to thank you from <strong>the</strong> bottom <strong>of</strong> my heart for thinking about us <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> worst time <strong>of</strong> our lives.<br />
God Bless<br />

We need your help!<br />
Do you enjoy having a ch<strong>at</strong>, sharing a cup <strong>of</strong> tea?<br />
Our Family Members do but many are lonely or isol<strong>at</strong>ed.<br />
All <strong>of</strong> our Family Members are over pension age<br />
<strong>and</strong> would have worked in <strong>the</strong> hospitality industry<br />
for <strong>at</strong> least 7 years. We have over 1,100 Family<br />
Members across <strong>the</strong> UK <strong>and</strong> it is our aim to remain<br />
aware <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> personal wellbeing <strong>of</strong> each one <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>m <strong>and</strong> to provide personal contact in <strong>the</strong> form<br />
<strong>of</strong> a visitor for those Family Members who would<br />
welcome it.<br />
We are looking for caring volunteer visitors<br />
to join our valued team, especially people from<br />
Scotl<strong>and</strong>, Nottinghamshire, Northumberl<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
Birmingham (but all areas welcome!).<br />
The important qualities needed are warmth,<br />
sense <strong>of</strong> humour, emp<strong>at</strong>hy, p<strong>at</strong>ience <strong>and</strong> listening<br />
Volunteer re:action<br />
skills. In return, you will receive appreci<strong>at</strong>ion <strong>and</strong><br />
support <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> s<strong>at</strong>isfaction <strong>of</strong> knowing th<strong>at</strong> your<br />
contribution has made a positive difference to<br />
someone’s quality <strong>of</strong> life.<br />
Your time commitment need only be an hour or<br />
two a month but it will mean so much to our Family<br />
Member.<br />
Visitors need no previous experience. You will<br />
receive training <strong>and</strong> ongoing support from head<br />
<strong>of</strong>fice <strong>and</strong> expenses will be reimbursed.<br />
● For more inform<strong>at</strong>ion on how to get involved,<br />
please contact Laura Clyne, Services Director,<br />
on 020 004 5508 or e-mail her <strong>at</strong><br />
lclyne@hospitalityaction.org.uk.<br />
We have over 1,100 Family Members, across <strong>the</strong> length <strong>and</strong> breadth <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> United Kingdom. We would dearly love to invite <strong>the</strong>m all to a lunch in<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir area, but to be able to do so we need your help.<br />
Do you run or work for an establishment th<strong>at</strong> could host a lunch for<br />
10-15 people? If so, <strong>and</strong> you would like to get more involved, please<br />
contact Laura Clyne, Services Director.<br />
Thank you<br />

The Ark Found<strong>at</strong>ion<br />
Both students <strong>and</strong> lecturers alike have been keeping <strong>the</strong>mselves busy<br />
in 2008. Here’s wh<strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong>y’ve been up to...<br />
Firstly, thank you to Portsmouth<br />
Highbury College who kindly<br />
don<strong>at</strong>ed £500 from <strong>the</strong>ir Student<br />
Enrichment Fund towards fur<strong>the</strong>ring<br />
<strong>the</strong> important work <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ark<br />
Found<strong>at</strong>ion. On a slightly different<br />
note, students from Mid Cheshire<br />
College got stuck into fundraising<br />
with some biscuit selling <strong>and</strong> leg<br />
waxing (see below)!<br />
14<br />
As shown in <strong>the</strong> photo, <strong>the</strong> leg<br />
waxing was an act <strong>of</strong> bravery in aid<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> charity but toge<strong>the</strong>r with <strong>the</strong><br />
biscuit selling, it raised £223 so it<br />
was all worth it! Thank you to <strong>the</strong>m<br />
all for <strong>the</strong>ir efforts!<br />
Having received regular visits<br />
from Ken Crosl<strong>and</strong>, <strong>the</strong> students<br />
<strong>of</strong> City College Brighton’s c<strong>at</strong>ering<br />
department decided to hold a raffle<br />
to show <strong>the</strong>ir support for <strong>the</strong> Ark<br />
Found<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
They raised a fantastic £663<br />
to which Ken commented, “This<br />
money is <strong>the</strong> lifeblood <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> charity<br />
but even more important is <strong>the</strong><br />
absolutely amazing commitment<br />
<strong>the</strong> students have put in to it, <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>An</strong>d here’s an upd<strong>at</strong>e on our presenters...<br />
<strong>the</strong> direction <strong>and</strong> support given by<br />
<strong>the</strong> staff <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> college. I come to<br />
City College once a year to deliver<br />
<strong>the</strong> industry awareness seminar<br />
on alcohol <strong>and</strong> drugs. The college<br />
is amazingly supportive <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
seminar is always well received<br />
by <strong>the</strong> students so to have this<br />
kind <strong>of</strong> support given in return is<br />
superb”.<br />

City College<br />
The original idea for <strong>the</strong> Ark came from Michael Quinn <strong>MBE</strong> an acclaimed <strong>and</strong> respected Chef <strong>at</strong> <strong>the</strong> top <strong>of</strong> his career as<br />
Maitre Chef de Cuisine <strong>at</strong> The Ritz Hotel, London who through stress, pressure <strong>of</strong> work <strong>and</strong> unsociable hours, turned to<br />
alcohol. During his recovery he felt he wanted to put something back into <strong>the</strong> industry which for many years had provided him<br />
with work. He is currently in Australia, spreading <strong>the</strong> message <strong>of</strong> Ark globally. See www.arkglobal.org for more info.<br />
Michael is joined by Peter Kay who is also Chief Executive <strong>of</strong> Tony Adam’s Sporting Chance charity for footballers. Peter<br />
delivers his heartfelt personal story <strong>of</strong> near de<strong>at</strong>h <strong>and</strong> recovery to raise awareness <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> dangers <strong>of</strong> alcoholism <strong>and</strong> addiction<br />
to young people entering <strong>the</strong> industry. Both Peter <strong>and</strong> Michael have been recognized for <strong>the</strong>ir commitment to <strong>the</strong> Ark<br />
Found<strong>at</strong>ion through <strong>the</strong> Special Award C<strong>at</strong>ey in 2007.<br />
Ken Crosl<strong>and</strong> has been a member <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Ark team for over four years. His unique story <strong>of</strong> misuse began whilst working in a<br />
number <strong>of</strong> New York’s top restaurants <strong>and</strong> clubs, <strong>and</strong> continued in a successful sales management career for a number <strong>of</strong><br />
leading media <strong>and</strong> entertainment companies. He has subsequently been in recovery for almost ten years. Ken specialises in<br />
delivering <strong>the</strong> Ark message to <strong>the</strong> corpor<strong>at</strong>e world through <strong>the</strong> Ark for Business (see page 15).<br />
In June 2004, while working <strong>at</strong> Jamie Oliver’s ‘Fifteen’, Chris Mordue w<strong>at</strong>ched Peter Kay deliver an alcohol <strong>and</strong> drugs seminar.<br />
Here he identified <strong>the</strong> seriousness <strong>of</strong> his alcohol <strong>and</strong> drug addiction, made <strong>the</strong> important phone call reaching out for help <strong>and</strong><br />
has remained sober ever since, passion<strong>at</strong>e about working with young people.<br />
Kevin Burlison has recently joined <strong>the</strong> Ark team. Having worked with top chefs including Joel Robuchon, Michael Quinn <strong>at</strong><br />
Ettingham Park Hotel <strong>and</strong> under David Miller <strong>at</strong> The Ritz, Kevin earned recognition <strong>and</strong> respect within <strong>the</strong> industry. By 2000 he<br />
had burnt out <strong>and</strong> was deep in alcoholism. However, through AA, Kevin got his life back on track, has been sober for 17<br />
months <strong>and</strong> is helping to spread <strong>the</strong> important Ark message.
Ark for Business re:action<br />
The Ark for Business<br />
In a 2007 survey by C<strong>at</strong>erer <strong>and</strong> Hotelkeeper, findings showed th<strong>at</strong> 40% <strong>of</strong> respondents had witnessed<br />
colleagues taking drugs <strong>at</strong> work. 1 % had personally taken drugs <strong>at</strong> work <strong>and</strong> over 7 in 10 <strong>of</strong> those<br />
surveyed had seen colleagues misusing drugs or alcohol ei<strong>the</strong>r during work or immedi<strong>at</strong>ely prior to work.<br />
The pace <strong>and</strong> dem<strong>and</strong>s <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Hospitality</strong> Industry have always made it a<br />
stressful environment. As with o<strong>the</strong>r industries alcohol <strong>and</strong> drug misuse are<br />
rising dram<strong>at</strong>ically in <strong>the</strong> workplace <strong>and</strong> it’s likely to be costing businesses far<br />
more than <strong>the</strong>y think.<br />
Since 2005, <strong>the</strong> Ark Found<strong>at</strong>ion has worked with key hospitality employers<br />
(including Claridge’s, The Royal Automobile Club, Red Carn<strong>at</strong>ion Hotels, Fifteen,<br />
3663 First for Foodservice <strong>and</strong> BaxterStorey) <strong>and</strong> launched The Ark for Business<br />
- a dedic<strong>at</strong>ed consultancy focused <strong>at</strong> helping <strong>Hospitality</strong> employers prevent<br />
alcohol <strong>and</strong> drug misuse becoming a problem.<br />
Red Carn<strong>at</strong>ion Hotels have been working closely with Ark for Business this year <strong>and</strong> Jon<strong>at</strong>han Raggett, Managing<br />
Director, comments, “...We want staff to know th<strong>at</strong> we’re <strong>the</strong>re to support <strong>the</strong>m if <strong>the</strong>re’s a problem. At corpor<strong>at</strong>e<br />
level, wh<strong>at</strong> we’re doing is ensuring th<strong>at</strong> we conduct <strong>the</strong> due diligence to ensure we have procedures in place to<br />
protect our employees, customers <strong>and</strong> shareholders”.<br />
The service includes:<br />
Employee Awareness Seminar - <strong>the</strong> speakers’ unique position <strong>of</strong> coming from <strong>the</strong> industry <strong>and</strong> having be<strong>at</strong>en<br />
addictions gives credibility <strong>and</strong> helps reach those heading in <strong>the</strong> wrong direction.<br />
Management Training Workshops - help ensure managers know how to recognise early signs <strong>of</strong> dependency<br />
<strong>and</strong> abuse <strong>and</strong> are confident <strong>and</strong> competent to act.<br />
Drug <strong>and</strong> Alcohol Policy Design/Audit - not having a policy means limited defence against a growing <strong>and</strong> costly<br />
problem. Ark for Business helps businesses with <strong>the</strong> practical, legal <strong>and</strong> ethical issues <strong>the</strong>y need to consider in order<br />
to develop <strong>the</strong> right policy for <strong>the</strong>ir organis<strong>at</strong>ion.<br />
