It all helps: restaurants will encourage diners to pay an extra £1 to support the Trust’s work
(Picture: Ronan Kruithof/Unsplash)Renowned north London publican Nick Gibson has launched a new scheme which encourages restaurants to add a £1 donation onto their guests’ bills in order to support the Trussell Trusts’ network of UK-wide food banks.
Working in a similar way to StreetSmart, which has raised millions in aid of the homeless, the new initiative puts a £1 donation to diner’s bills throughout the year, until August, with restaurants able to choose the specific months they wish to sign up for. The concept was created by Nick Gibson, owner of beloved Islington restaurant and pub The Drapers Arms, and all funds raised will go directly to supporting the work of the Trussell Trust.
