The Guelder Rose - Marstons Burnt Mile
Saturday 24th Aug
Hi everyone!
Everyone here at The Guelder Rose in Southport agrees The Burnt Chef Project is an incredible charity! So to give something back to them, we will be raising £150 (and hopefully more!) this September.
The goal is to walk, run, jog, or cycle 30 miles in September. This can be done during the commute to work or in our spare time! Some of our team members are even using Pokemon Go to track their progress!
So what is the Burnt Chef Project?
Launched in May 2019 The Burnt Chef Project was setup with the sole intention of eradicating mental health stigma within hospitality. Margins are slim and with increased focus on saving money both employers and employees feel the effect of this on their mental health. Long antisocial hours, tough environmental conditions and pressures to perform are just some of the issues that hospitality professionals are fighting against on a daily basis.
The Burnt Chef recently conducted a survey of 1273 hospitality professionals which showed that 8 out of 10 (84%) of respondents had experienced mental health issues within their career and 46% would not feel comfortable talking about their health concerns with their colleagues.
Hospitality staff should be able to discuss the state of their mental health and gain support from their peers and employers. It's important that although mental health can't be seen it is regularly discussed and policies reviewed. This should be the new definition of 'badge of honour'.
Together we can burn away mental health stigma within hospitality once and for all.
The Burnt Chef Project provide education, support and resources, to tackle mental health stigma and work to ensure the hospitality and leisure industry is healthier and more sustainable by focusing on people's wellbeing first.
We will be posting a few things on here to get sponsors, donations, and raise awareness about this wonderful charity - Join us in the Marstons Mile today!
