The chester triple

The current reality is that a large proportion of the hospitality community has, or will, experience a mental health issue as a direct result of chronic stress, stigma and lack of support.

In worst case scenarios this can also lead to loss of life with hospitality having one of the highest rates of suicide against other professions.

We have to change that. The Burnt Chef Project is a globally recognised not-for-profit Social Enterprise and we are fully committed to making the hospitality profession healthier and more sustainable by focusing on people's wellbeing first by providing free supporting structures, awareness campaigns supported by market-leading training and education.

I am a head chef in a business of two sites and have seen and experienced the pressures and stress the industry can unfortunately bestow upon individuals. The burnt chef project is a brilliant and worthwhile cause, attempting to break the “stigma” of hospitality workers. This is why I have decided to try and raise awareness and money for them by running the Chester triple (10k, half marathon and full marathon) any donations no matter how small are all greatly appreciated!
