Great North Run

By Simon Genduso Join Me

I'm fundraising for the future of hospitality.

I'm raising money for The Burnt Chef Project and need your help!

4 out of hospitality professionals report having experienced at least one mental health issue during their career.


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.

Been back on the training slowly and tonight have run my first 10k in  hour and 9 mins. Slowing down a little until the big day next Sunday.
