Lexington Catering supports The Genie’s Wish Charity for annual ‘Wishmas’ party at Hamleys of London. Lexington served homemade snacks and festive sweet treats, as well as a selection of soft drinks to over 350 wish beneficiaries and supporters. Lexington is now in its tenth year of supporting charitable giving for The Genie’s Wish charity. The Genie’s Wish charity’s annual 'Wishmas' party is a special event designed to offer children a break from their daily life stresses with a special Christmas experience at London’s oldest toy shop. During this event, Genie’s Wish beneficiaries have exclusive access to Hamleys, with volunteers dressed in costumes, a Disney princess brigade, and a festive singalong. The Genie's Wish enhances the lives of people with a terminal illness or living with a life-limiting condition, from birth to age 40, as well as young carers aged five to 18. The Genie’s Wish gives children, along with their families, respite by providing them with a life-changing wish, experience, or ongoing opportunity. Martin Neal and Katie Jones, co-founders of The Genie’s Wish, said: "We feel extremely lucky to be continually supported by Dang Pham and the team at Lexington Catering and cannot thank them enough for their support at our Wishmas party. “Lexington’s delicious treats and refreshments enhanced our festive celebration, and everyone commented on the quality of the food. Thank you for making our event even more enjoyable.”
Contract caterer Elior hosted its annual charity dinner and auction to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society, the UK’s leading dementia charity. Held at BT One Braham in London, the event raised £30,000. The fine dining culinary experience was curated by nine talented Elior chefs, including Bake Off: The Professionals contestants Malgorzata Kujawa and Natalie Sheridan. Each chef delivered one course of the nine-course menu. Dishes were inspired by the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) which is designed to promote brain health and reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive decline by focusing on nutrient-rich foods that benefit the brain. Elior’s CEO Catherine Roe commented: “We’re immensely proud of our work to support Alzheimer’s Society, and I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone that has contributed to helping raise these vital funds. It’s because of these contributions that we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of those living with dementia.”
Scottish Gas Murrayfield enters new era with the launch of “The Murrayfield Experience” Elior UK, in partnership with Scottish Rugby, has officially launched The Murrayfield Experience following its successful unveiling during the 2024 Famous Grouse Nations Series, which ran throughout November.
A fantastic day volunteering at the British Heart Foundation including an afternoon stint in the cold dressed as “Hearty” and sorting and pricing stock which included Elior UK colleague donations which brought in an extra £71 in sales on the day and £40 from an unnamed donor for the rocking horse in the picture. I honestly didn’t know what to expect from the day but left wondering why I’d not done it before, and I must have passed the trial shift as I’m going back again on Sunday. Thank you again to all my colleagues in Macclesfield and London for getting behind our local charity appeal this year. Tomorrow we will be dropping off all the brand new gifts at The Salvation Army in Macclesfield ready for packing and distributing to families in need this Christmas. ❤️
