Support: Sessions Arts Club has signed up to support the cause
(Picture: Courtesy of StreetSmart)The charity StreetSmart is hoping to raise hundreds of thousands of pounds in aid of the homeless this year, as it announces nearly 550 restaurants across the country taking part in its annual drive.
Now in its 24th year, the organisation has collected more than £11.2million to support those sleeping rough. The charity signs up restaurants who add an optional, charitable £1 to each table’s bill during November and December. The graceful simplicity and unobtrusiveness of the method — it costs the restaurants nothing, and diners pennies — last year raised £696,000.
