A garden tour of Highgrove,<br />
a day at the Polo, The <strong>Hospitality</strong><br />
Ball and lots of special dinners…<br />
This is just some of the exciting<br />
stuff we have lined up for 2010!<br />
Sponsored by
CELEBRATE HA WEEK...<br />
BY JUMPING OUT OF A<br />
PLANE!<br />
Up for a challenge?! On Friday May 21 st <strong>Hospitality</strong> <strong>Action</strong> will be holding<br />
a Parachute Day at the Maidstone airfield and on Saturday May 22 nd<br />
we’ll be ready and raring to go in Salisbury! Attached to a professional<br />
instructor for all 10,000 feet this ‘Tandem Skydive’ will be the experience<br />
of a lifetime! First timers are more than welcome and if you raise the<br />
minimum amount of sponsorship you’ll get to jump for free!<br />
You don’t have to jump out of a plane to make a difference. If you like<br />
the idea of doing something out of the ordinary whilst raising £££s for HA<br />
why not take part in an overseas challenge? Cycle London to Paris or<br />
travel further a field by trekking Nepal, Iceland or Costa Rica!<br />
An adventure awaits!<br />
For details on any of the above, or to jump at a different airfield, give the<br />
fundraising department a ring on: 020 3004 5504 or email:<br />

Step up to the challenge for <strong>Hospitality</strong> <strong>Action</strong>!<br />
Welcome to the <strong>14</strong>th edition of <strong>Hospitality</strong> <strong>Action</strong>’s Newsletter<br />
re:<strong>action</strong>.<br />
Having recently accepted an invitation to join our industry’s<br />
benevolent Charity’s board of trustees it gave me great pleasure to<br />
write this brief introduction.<br />
I have enjoyed working with Penny Moore, our CEO and her<br />
team over the past few years serving as a member of the London<br />
Board and have been very pleased with the success that the team<br />
has had in particular with events such as A Question of Support<br />
and the numerous special evenings at some of our finest dining<br />
establishments.<br />
This success would not have been achieved however without<br />
the very generous support of a reasonably small group of people<br />
and one of our major challenges moving forward, must be to<br />
garner a broader range of support for our fundraising mission.<br />
The truth is that <strong>Hospitality</strong> <strong>Action</strong> is a terrific charity that has a very<br />
real benefit to many people’s lives. So if I could ask you to read this<br />
edition and enjoy it’s content but also to reflect on this question:<br />
“Are you doing all that you can to help?”<br />
I am honoured to be able to give something back to an industry<br />
that has so far been very good to me and I am really looking forward<br />
to working with the other trustees in the coming years and doing my<br />
part to ensure that our charity flourishes.<br />

best practice in managing the risks<br />
presented by alcohol and drugs in<br />

The <strong>Hospitality</strong> Sparkle Ball<br />
HA pulled out<br />
all the stops<br />
once again<br />
at its annual<br />
Ball on <strong>14</strong>th October at the Lancaster,<br />
London. Over £80,000 was raised<br />
making the evening a resounding<br />
success. The <strong>Hospitality</strong> Ball is one of<br />
our most popular events and we were<br />
overjoyed that even in these difficult<br />
times so many people came out to<br />
support those in need.<br />
Several people within the industry<br />
were commended for their dedication<br />
and commitment to HA:<br />
The Ambassador award sponsored<br />
by First Choice Coffee and presented<br />
by Elaine Higginson, went to<br />
Richard Ball of Calcot Manor, for his<br />
outstanding personal commitment to<br />
the charity.<br />
“I have<br />
supported<br />
<strong>Hospitality</strong><br />
<strong>Action</strong> for<br />
some time<br />
now but was<br />
inspired to<br />
Richard Ball from Calcot<br />
Manor with Elaine Higginson,<br />
First Choice Coffee<br />
get more involved after witnessing<br />
a presentation to students at a local<br />
college by Ken Crosland about the<br />
problems of alcohol dependency in<br />
the industry. I was touched to receive<br />
the Ambassadors Award, but nothing<br />
could have been done without the<br />
huge efforts of my team at Calcot<br />
and the hoteliers of the region. I hope<br />
our efforts may inspire others to get<br />
involved.”<br />
Richard Ball,<br />
Managing Director,<br />
Calcot Manor<br />
The President’s award, sponsored<br />
by William Murray Group and<br />
presented by Anita Woods, was given<br />
to Malmaison and Hotel du Vin for<br />
their consistent support over the past<br />
twelve months.<br />
Robert Cook from Malmaison and Hotel Du Vin<br />
with Anita Woods, William Murray Group and<br />
Mark Lewis<br />
“Our industry is one of the most<br />
pressurised and time demanding<br />
there is. These pressures can inflict<br />
all sorts of issues on our colleagues,<br />
and some simply find it too much. HA<br />
helps so many of these people and<br />
to help colleagues that have given<br />
so much to the industry, we think, is<br />
the greatest cause of all. MAL and<br />
HDV support HA for that reason.<br />
To win the Presidents award was a<br />
magnificent achievement for all the<br />
2500 colleagues in our business.”<br />
Robert Cook,<br />
Chief Executive Officer,<br />
Malmaison and Hotel du Vin<br />
The HA’s Heroes award went to<br />
Dave Mansbridge of Living Ventures.<br />
Over the past year Dave has tirelessly<br />
raised funds for the charity whilst also<br />
committing his time and energy to<br />
make him a truly invaluable member<br />
of the North West Regional Board.<br />
“I’m honoured and thrilled to be<br />
the recipient of this year’s <strong>Hospitality</strong><br />
<strong>Action</strong> “Hero” award. I have worked in<br />
this industry most of my life and think<br />
it’s a privilege to be part of the only<br />
industry charity. Looking to the future,<br />
it is a personal<br />
crusade of mine<br />
to raise the<br />
profile of HA<br />
with the servers,<br />
bartenders,<br />
chefs and<br />
chambermaids<br />
and every other member of our teams<br />
who make our businesses work. HA is,<br />
and always has been there to support<br />
these guys. They need to know we<br />
are there when they need us most.”<br />

of alcohol and substance abuse in<br />

HA Week<br />
Between the 18th and 24th May 2009 the industry’s pant-wearing <strong>action</strong> heroes were<br />
out in force and raised a staggering £100,000 in the process!<br />
With over 50 companies signed up in our first ever fundraising week, the array of<br />
activities were vast and often ingeniously innovative! There were marshmallow eating<br />
competitions, dress-down days, raffles, cake sales, football matches, doughnut eating<br />
competitions, ice cream sales, sponsored trim trails and even a sponsored team<br />
meeting held at the top of Scaffell Pike.<br />
8<br />
Here’s what last year’s participants had to say…<br />
3663 First for Foodservice<br />
“We held a sponsored team meeting at the top of Scafell Pike<br />
– it’s not quite Kilimanjaro, but was a challenging climb of nearly<br />
1000m. The whole meeting was conducted with pants over<br />
trousers of course and raised a large proportion of the £10,000<br />
target set for our National Accounts team”.<br />
Andrew Clarke, 3663 First for Foodservice<br />
Royal Garden Hotel<br />
“We had great fun with our various fundraising activities from<br />
a marshmallow eating competition, to a raffle to win theatre<br />
tickets, not to mention our photo competition. We’re great<br />
supporters of HA; they’ve always been very supportive of our<br />
employees, both past and present”.<br />
Susie Wadsworth, Royal Garden Hotel<br />
HMS Nelson, Aramark<br />
“Various members of the team dressed up as superheroes,<br />
collecting money in shaky tins. We also held a couple of raffles<br />
and had great fun in the process. We’re looking forward to next<br />
year already”.<br />
Stephen Travis, Aramark<br />

Case study<br />
Annie Giles-Quinn – Manchester – Catering Manager<br />
“Thanks to your support, Annie and her son’s lives<br />
have been made that little bit more bearable”<br />
Annie hasn’t had it easy. A<br />
long standing member of<br />
the hospitality industry Annie<br />
worked in catering for 28<br />
years.<br />
After separating from her<br />
husband it was left to Annie<br />
to financially support her two<br />
children. As a single mother<br />
times were tough but Annie<br />
gained confidence in herself<br />
and the family pulled together.<br />
Then tragedy struck. Annie<br />
was diagnosed with breast<br />
cancer on two separate<br />
occasions. With her children<br />
dependent upon her the<br />
impact on family life was hard.<br />
The endless hospital trips and<br />
10<br />
constant stress and worry<br />
were only relieved when Annie<br />
went into remission.<br />
But life can be cruel. If<br />
coping with cancer hadn’t<br />
been enough Annie’s sight<br />
began to deteriorate. She was<br />
forced to leave her job and in<br />
2007 was registered blind. Her<br />
self-belief hit an all time low.<br />
Lacking in confidence Annie<br />
was unable to leave her home<br />
without assistance and began<br />
to rely on her sons for nearly<br />
everything.<br />
Depressed, isolated and<br />
lonely she turned to <strong>Hospitality</strong><br />
<strong>Action</strong> for help. We were able<br />
to provide Annie with special<br />
Here are some other people we have helped...<br />
speech activated software so<br />
she could use her computer<br />
again. Although only a small<br />
change this has had a huge<br />
effect on the family’s life.<br />
Annie can once again carry<br />
out tasks such as online<br />
shopping so reducing her<br />
dependency on her children.<br />
Thanks to email she can now<br />
stay in touch with her friends<br />
preventing those creeping<br />
feelings of loneliness.<br />
Thanks to your support<br />
Annie and her son’s lives have<br />
been made that little bit more<br />
bearable. Please help us to<br />
carry on supporting people<br />
through their bleakest times.<br />
How we can help<br />
How we help re:<strong>action</strong><br />
<strong>Hospitality</strong> <strong>Action</strong> is the trade charity for the hospitality industry and so we<br />
exist to help people like you. We offer a range of services aimed at past and<br />
present workers from the industry.<br />
Sometimes it just takes a small change in circumstances to turn a<br />
manageable situation into an unmanageable one. For example, the loss<br />
or drop in income caused by illness, redundancy or caring for a loved can<br />
present a series of problems that most of us would struggle to deal with.<br />
Whatever the reason we are here to listen and provide help wherever we can.<br />

We need your help<br />
Do you enjoy having a chat<br />
and sharing a cup of tea?<br />
So do our Family Members,<br />
but many are lonely or<br />
isolated. We are looking for<br />
caring Volunteer Visitors from<br />
across the UK to join our<br />
valued team.<br />
You need no previous<br />
experience and will receive<br />
training and ongoing support<br />
from head office. If you<br />
have a friendly, sensitive<br />
manner and can provide a<br />
listening ear please contact<br />
Jenny Gill for more details<br />
on 020 3004 5507 or email<br />
jgill@hospitality<strong>action</strong>.org.uk<br />
What’s Required<br />
The minimum commitment is<br />
just 2 visits per year (though<br />
we would be delighted if you<br />
could take on more!) Each<br />
visit lasts about an hour<br />
and can be carried out in<br />
the evening or at weekends<br />
and many of our existing<br />
volunteers fit the visits around<br />
a busy work and home life.<br />
Why Volunteer?<br />
As a volunteer you will not<br />
only be supporting some of<br />
our more isolated industry<br />
retirees but you will also have<br />
a great time.<br />
Volunteer Visitors re:<strong>action</strong><br />
Margaret & Stuart Ritchie visit in the Edinburgh area. For them<br />
“visiting the Family Members is a pleasure and we are<br />
always warmly welcomed with a cup of tea, hearing<br />
about their grandchildren, families and holidays. I<br />
feel we get more out of these visits than they do,<br />
always coming away happy and realising how little it<br />
takes to do a good turn. Doing this makes you very<br />
humble as there are a lot of lonely and kindly people<br />
out there just waiting for someone to knock at their<br />
door”.<br />
Volunteers Margaret & Stuart Ritchie<br />
Elizabeth is a Family Member in London. She is visited by<br />
Denise and writes, “I lost my sight 5 years ago. When<br />
<strong>Hospitality</strong> <strong>Action</strong> set up the volunteer visitor<br />
scheme I was quick to apply. Very soon I met<br />
Denise and for the past 2 years she has been visiting<br />
me. She is a charming, kind woman and we chat over a<br />
cup of tea. I am most grateful to HA for setting up<br />
this service, which gives me another valuable link to<br />
the hospitality industry.”<br />

e:<strong>action</strong> Ark Foundation re:<strong>action</strong> Ark For Busines<br />
The Ark Foundation<br />
Our presenters...<br />
The original idea for the Ark came from Michael Quinn MBE an acclaimed and respected Chef when<br />
at the top of his career as Maitre Chef de Cuisine at The Ritz Hotel, London turned to alcohol. During<br />
his recovery he felt he wanted to put something back into the industry which for many years had<br />
provided him with work.<br />
Shelagh Jansen – Manager and Co-ordinator of The Ark Foundation says: “Our sincerest thanks goes<br />
to all the college students who have helped us with fundraising this year. The Ark Presenters really enjoy<br />
their visits to the Colleges and greatly appreciate the support of the staff and students.”<br />
Some quotes from the colleges...<br />
“It is great that The Ark Foundation is educating<br />
people in this way. When you consider the stress,<br />
and the hours that go with the hospitality industry,<br />
and the number of people who have gone through<br />
this, it really makes you think.”<br />
A student at Cumbernauld College<br />
“The visit gave our students the opportunity to learn<br />
about how alcohol and drug abuse can destroy a<br />
career. Irregular hours and long shifts in the kitchen<br />
can be very stressful, but as Michael’s visit has<br />
proved, alcohol and drug consumption is not the<br />
answer.”<br />
Liz Gazy, Deputy Centre Manager<br />
Blackburn College<br />
<strong>14</strong><br />
Michael is joined by Peter Kay who is also Chief Executive of Tony Adam’s Sporting Chance Peter<br />
delivers his heartfelt personal story of near death and recovery to raise awareness of the dangers of<br />
alcoholism and addiction to young people entering the industry. Both Peter and Michael have been<br />
recognized for their commitment to the Ark Foundation through the Special Award Catey in 2007.<br />
Ken Crosland has been a member of the Ark team for over five years. His unique story of misuse<br />
began whilst working in a number of New York’s top restaurants and clubs, and continued in a<br />
successful sales management career for a number of leading media and entertainment companies.<br />
He has subsequently been in recovery for ten years. Ken not only visits the colleges but also<br />
specialises in delivering the Ark message to the corporate world through the Ark for Business.<br />
“I have had feedback from tutors that the students<br />
involved found the session most informative and<br />
thought provoking. The Ark seminars have real, life<br />
changing outcomes in terms of the direction of a<br />
percentage of youngsters in this highly vulnerable<br />
group. We highly value our links with the Ark<br />
Foundation over the past few years and your visits<br />
to South Downs are very much looked forward to<br />
by all the Catering team. Thank you once again on<br />
behalf of the students.”<br />
Gerry Shurman,<br />
Head of Catering <strong>Hospitality</strong> & Travel<br />
South Downs College<br />
