Liberation supports mental health charity

Liberation Group has joined forces with The Burnt Chef Project to raise money for those struggling in the hospitality industry with mental health.

Teams from across Liberation Group’s estate of pubs in the south west and Channel Islands have signed up to compete in the Burnt Chef Project’s ‘Get Active Lockdown Challenge’. For every mile team members run, cycle or swim by the end of March, Liberation Group will donate 25p to the cause.   

“It’s well documented how badly the hospitality industry has been affected during this pandemic, with pubs and restaurants having to close and many businesses unsure what the future holds,” says Jonathan Lawson, CEO of Liberation Group. “Never before has it been so important for us all to come together and support our colleagues. The idea for this challenge was the brainchild of Jeremy Spencer, one of our operations managers, as a way of keeping colleagues active and positive during lockdown, safe in the knowledge they’re doing something good to help the industry we love.”

The Burnt Chef Project was set up in May 2019 by Kris Hall, with the sole intention of eradicating mental health stigma with the hospitality industry. Donations can be made here.
