This year's StreetSmart campaign in underway, with around 600 restaurants signed up to take part. Diners are encouraged to donate an optional £1, every penny of which is used to support homeless charities in their work. As the piece below explains, because the scheme is supported by LandAid, every penny is used to help those who need it. For more information, please visit streetsmart.org.uk
Like many things that come out of the Groucho, the origins of the charity StreetSmart are, its co-founder William Sieghart laughs, “a little hazy”. But then Sieghart can be forgiven; the Groucho’s good-time inducements aside, it was 25 years ago that he first came up with the idea.
