Many of you will be aware that the Guild of Fine Food has been working to deliver the World Cheese Awards in Kyiv, with our partners ProCheese, for the past two years.

We were due to deliver the 34th edition in early November and the fact that this year was to be held in Ukraine, brings the enormity of the crisis even closer to the global cheese community, many of whom met the ProCheese team in Oviedo, Spain.

The most constructive way we can help is to direct funds through a recognised charity and we have been directed to the DEC by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office.

We were invited to the Ukraine to shine a light and nuture the cheesemakers of that nation, who were working hard to be recognised on the world stage.  We visited a few of those cheesemakers in 2019 and were bowled over by their ambition. We were looking forward to introducing the World Cheese community to them and now feel we need to corral that community to help.

Donate if you can. Please share this with the global cheese community.
