Hi, I’m Ashley Hough-Moran and I'm the Sous Chef at Old Palace Chester.

This year Old Palace Chester is raising money for the amazing charity, Magic Breakfast.

Magic Breakfast helps provide nutritious breakfasts to children who may otherwise start the school day hungry. For many families facing financial struggles, this support helps take away some of the stress at home while ensuring children have the energy and focus they need to learn and thrive.

To help raise money, I’ll be swimming 1000 lengths throughout the month of June. Every length I swim is to support children who deserve the best possible start to their day.

It costs just 34p to provide a child with a breakfast, so every single donation really does make a difference. Even a small contribution could help feed multiple children and support families who need it most.

Thank you so much for your support, donations, and encouragement - every penny truly counts!
