This summer (July) I’m proud to be joining Neil Barker, Chair of The Drinks Trust, as he takes on the incredible SIXTREME challenge, running six ultramarathons in six days to mark the charity’s 140th anniversary.

I’ll be stepping onto the route with him walking/jogging from Edinburgh to North Berwick to help raise vital funds for the people who make our hospitality industry what it is.

The Drinks Trust is a trade charity providing financial assistance, emotional support, and opportunity for growth to drinks industry people. Our aim is to alleviate hardship, improve the wellbeing of our colleagues, and support their professional development. To find out more, please visit www.drinkstrust.org.uk

Hospitality is an industry built on warmth, resilience and community, but in recent years, it’s been hit hard, leaving many people that work in this special industry facing financial strain, mental health challenges and uncertainty about the future.

Every pound raised will help provide financial support, wellbeing services, training and opportunities for those who need it most across the drinks and hospitality sectors - all funds go to providing a brighter future for those that need it.
