StreetSmart
StreetSmart works with restaurants and pubs across the UK to raise money for vulnerable and homeless members of their local community by adding a £1 donation to each diner's bill during the months of November and December.
This week, chefs, restauranteurs and supporters gathered at ROE in Canary Wharf to acknowledge the achievements of the charity StreetSmart. Guests were the first to hear how much was raised in total, which restaurants received awards for their efforts and how LandAid have played a significant part in the campaign’s success.
The StreetSmart campaign raises funds to tackle homelessness by collecting donations from diners at leading restaurants during the busy build up to Christmas.
This time the initiative raised a staggering £1,027,000 all from £1 per table donations at over 600 restaurants that took part.
Restaurants included St John, Core by Clare Smyth, The Grill at The Dorchester and Moor Hall in Lancs, who were also joined by the eateries in Selfridges and Fortnum & Mason. Restaurant Groups like Ottolenghi, Bancone and Brother Marcus were key supporters of the campaign, each contributing tens of thousands of pounds to the important cause.
