An MBE, dinner at the Gherkin and lots of purple ... - Hospitality Action

We need your help!
Do you enjoy having a chat, sharing a cup of tea?
Our Family Members do but many are lonely or isolated.
All of our Family Members are over pension age
and would have worked in the hospitality industry
for at least 7 years. We have over 1,100 Family
Members across the UK and it is our aim to remain
aware of the personal wellbeing of each one of
them and to provide personal contact in the form
of a visitor for those Family Members who would
welcome it.
We are looking for caring volunteer visitors
to join our valued team, especially people from
Scotland, Nottinghamshire, Northumberland and
Birmingham (but all areas welcome!).
The important qualities needed are warmth,
sense of humour, empathy, patience and listening
Volunteer re:action
skills. In return, you will receive appreciation and
support and the satisfaction of knowing that your
contribution has made a positive difference to
someone’s quality of life.
Your time commitment need only be an hour or
two a month but it will mean so much to our Family
Member.
Visitors need no previous experience. You will
receive training and ongoing support from head
office and expenses will be reimbursed.
● For more information on how to get involved,
please contact Laura Clyne, Services Director,

We have over 1,100 Family Members, across the length and breadth of
the United Kingdom. We would dearly love to invite them all to a lunch in
their area, but to be able to do so we need your help.
Do you run or work for an establishment that could host a lunch for
10-15 people? If so, and you would like to get more involved, please
contact Laura Clyne, Services Director.
Thank you
