Hospitality Action

Established in 1837 Hospitality Action is the trade charity for the hospitality industry. It offers a range of services to past and present employees within the industry including:

• employee assistance programme
• grants

• golden friends (newsletters, cards and gifts, befriending and lunches for retired employees)

It can also consider help for dependants of industry employees.

"We’re here for the chefs, waiters, housekeepers and managers. We’re here for the concierges, receptionists and kitchen porters. And we’re here for every sommelier, bartender, catering assistant and cook across the UK.

Whether you work in hotels, restaurants, pubs, bars or cafés, schools, hospitals or event venues, we’re here to give you the help, advice and support you need whenever times get tough.

Whatever challenge you face - from physical illness or mental health issues to financial difficulty, family problems to addiction - Hospitality Action is here to get you back on your feet again. And when it’s no longer possible to work, we can help you prepare for the next phase of your life. 

Whatever you do in hospitality, we’ve got you."
