Table Talk Foundation launch raises £26,500 for Adopt a School and Hospitality Action programmes

On 14th June 2021, guests were welcomed at the Ridgeview Wine Estate in Ditchling, East Sussex to celebrate the launch of Table Talk Foundation, a new charity aiming to support local hospitality education and sector professionals. 

Table Talk Foundation has two support channels: the Royal Academy of Culinary Arts’ Adopt a School programme and Hospitality Action, for whom it raised £26,500 on the night of the inaugural event.

The Adopt a School programme gives grants to primary schools to teach children about the importance of food, from provenance and sustainability to nutrition and cooking, while Hospitality Action supports current or former hospitality professionals who may have fallen out of luck or need a helping hand to see them through a difficult patch in their career. 

Table Talk is planning a series of fundraising events, with the next one to be held at the Arundel Castle Cricket Club on September 3rd. You can also support the foundation through hosting your own events, with direct donations, by making it a beneficiary charity to your business, or through word of mouth.
