26 restaurants across Greater Manchester will take part in StreetSmart’s annual campaign
StreetSmart, the fundraising initiative where restaurants across Greater Manchester come together to support local homeless charities, will give diners the opportunity to give back whilst exploring the best of Manchester’s hospitality scene.
26 restaurants have already signed up, with even more hospitality venues being encouraged to take part and join in the fight against homelessness this Christmas.
Participating restaurants will add £1 to every bill they deliver over November and December, with all money raised going directly to local homeless organisations, thanks to StreetSmart’s official sponsorship from LandAid.
The funds raised this year by StreetSmart in Greater Manchester will support the crucial work of organisations such as CentrePoint, which funds Independent Living Advisors for young people, and Real Change Manchester who provide an extra boost of funding that makes all the difference.
Glenn Pougnet, Director of StreetSmart said: “The festive period can be an incredibly tough time for the vulnerable people in our community. StreetSmart provides a simple way for people to help some of our city’s most in need - giving back whilst dining out at Christmas is what StreetSmart is all about and we’re thrilled to have so many restaurants already taking part. Every £1 added to a bill adds up and makes a huge difference. There’s still time to sign up too so if you would like to get involved please get in touch.”
This year, the campaign has drawn support from acclaimed musician, lead singer of Elbow Guy Garvey, who said: “Every single one of us is a direct descendent of a desperate, homeless, hungry person. We don’t deal in fear and alienation in Manchester; we step up and help out.”
