Gordon McIntyre MBE, founder of Hospitality Health said, “What a great idea from Hazel at the Clayton; get the family out on a Saturday morning for fresh air and exercise before the Christmas madness hits!’ In doing so, we can raise funds to support the charity. The fundraising will go towards the training of staff in the industry with a qualification in Mental Health First Aid. It’s been a tough time for the staff in the hospitality industry and we are supporting them in their wellbeing and promoting positive action towards their mental health. Thanks to the team at Clayton hotel for all their support”.
Hazel Galloway, Clayton Hotel general manager is delighted to partner with Hospitality Health. “Gordon and the team at Hospitality Health are so passionate about helping those that work in the industry by providing invaluable information to anyone that may be facing work or personal worries. We have communicated the Hospitality Health website to all our team and will continue to remind them that there is a wider support network of like-minded professionals who they can connect with should they wish. This is a fantastic charity that is current and needed in an industry that whilst is very rewarding can be very tough!”
