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 />

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 />

lunch. Premier Inn donated<br />

four Family Member lunches<br />

Family Members relax for a<br />

Christmas festivity and glamour<br />

were combined at the Holiday Inn<br />

in London’s Mayfair<br />

which included Long Reach<br />

in Whitstable, Walston Castle,<br />

in Wales and London Kings<br />

Cross with Bristol planned.<br />

Calcot Manor held their annual<br />

Family Members lunch in its<br />

beautiful conservatory.<br />

New friendships and lots of laughter was<br />

had by all at the Hotel du Vin in Birmingham<br />

Lots of fun and laughter was had at our first<br />

lunch in Wales at Walston Castle<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 />

sick leave<br />

l 10 times more likely to be<br />

late<br />

l 5 times more likely to claim<br />

compensation<br />

l 33% less productive<br />
