I have the opportunity to support charities that benefit local communities and those less fortunate. My passion and drive to make a real difference have driven me to support 'Charity Begins at Home', a UK registered charity.
The organization, which runs food distribution every Friday and Food banks, solely relies on volunteers and donations. We look after 250 people in need by providing them with fresh warm meals, water, smoothies, yoghurts, sandwiches, ready meals, crisps, chocolates, biscuits, fruits, sleeping bags, clothes and plenty of other items. Every Friday afternoon we are at the Strand - Agar Street in the heart of London. The charity is now in its 8th year and was recently featured in the King Charles first Christmas Broadcast 2022.
In 2021 I raised over £13,000 and last year I raised and donated over £24,000 with the CEOSleepout initiative.
We here at Flemings Mayfair Hotel additional cook & prepare over 50 meals every Wednesday for families in need via a charity bike project led by CBH. In the last three-plus years, we have donated over 8500 meals cooked by our incredible chefs.
I was interviewed for the BBC 1 & BBC London news and LBC radio & was live on GBNews to raise awareness of homelessness.
