The Tim Bacon Foundation have launched a new initiative – Hospitality Helps – aiming to bring hospitality businesses across the northwest region together to fundraise for cancer charities working in the area. Its first charity partner will be Prevent Breast Cancer, the only UK charity focused on prediction and prevention of the disease.

Around 55,000 women a year are diagnosed with breast cancer in the UK, making it the most common cancer in the country. That includes around 10,000 aged under 50 who are diagnosed with the disease every year. With over 3.2 million people working in the hospitality sector nationally – of whom 60 per cent are women – breast cancer has the potential to impact tens of thousands of hospitality workers across the UK.

Hospitality Helps will be an ongoing initiative organised by the Tim Bacon Foundation aimed at harnessing the power of the hospitality sector to support regional good causes.

At The Alchemist, we are very proud to support the Tim Bacon Foundation and Prevent Breast cancer, to help prevent cancer, and support those who live with it.
