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 />
