Hospitality Action is the trade charity offering a crucial lifeline to people of all ages, working and retired, from the hospitality industry. Whether we’re approached by a chef, chambermaid, school cook or bar staff, Hospitality Action will endeavour to support, whatever the difficulty. Sometimes all it takes is a very small change in circumstances to turn a manageable situation into an unmanageable one. An extended illness such as cancer can lead to a drop in pay, a relationship breakdown, bereavement or redundancy can also put a strain on the household budget.
