For over 170 years Hospitality Action, the Hospitality Industry Benevolent Organisation, has offered vital assistance to all who work, or have worked within hospitality in the UK and who find themselves in crisis.
We support people"¦
For nearly 30 years Annie Giles-Quinn worked for the hospitality industry. Recently Annie's confidence has become shattered. Since separating from her husband she has financially supported both her children. She has fought breast cancer twice and has tragically been registered blind. Shaken, Annie turned to Hospitality Action. We were able to provide for Annie when no one else could.
Steven Wyllie worked as a chef in the Army for 13 years. After undergoing surgery and suffering from various complications he was unable to return to work. Becoming increasingly anxious about his health Steven became depressed and was eventually diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. In need of support Stephen turned to us to help restore his peace of mind.
