Hospitality industry rallies around Ukraine
Chefs and hospitality groups are offering funds and accommodation for displaced Ukranians
The UK hospitality industry has shown its support for Ukraine, with chefs and hospitality groups offering funds and accommodation for displaced Ukranians.
An international campaign has been launched calling on hospitality companies to help Ukrainian refugees by hosting those fleeing conflict.
In response to this unfolding crisis, the Hospitality for Ukraine campaign has been launched by marketing agency Stay the Night and content creator Kash Bhattacharya from the BudgetTraveller.
The campaign is calling on “hotels, hostels and other accommodation providers to open their doors to Ukrainian refugees”.
Meanwhile, chef Damian Wawryzniak pledged on his Twitter page to pay for Ukrainian chefs to travel from Ukraine and Poland.
It comes as The UN estimated that over 100,000 Ukrainians have already been displaced as a result of the Russian invasion and that number is set to grow in the coming weeks and months.
To Ukrainian chefs who are looking for work in the UK, I will pay for two visas and your flights from Poland/Ukraine to UK.
We can also help with accommodation 🙏
If you know anyone already, please do get in touch via restaurant number or reservations@houseoffeasts.co.uk
