We’re absolutely thrilled to recognise Yorkshire Food Guide as our Company of the Month for June!
Last month, Yorkshire Food Guide hosted an incredible fine dining event at Rudding Park Hotel, welcoming some of Yorkshire’s most talented chefs to host an unforgettable and delicious evening, all to raise vital funds for children and young people affected by childhood cancer.
With locally sourced ingredients, live music and a raffle, the evening was a huge success and raised an incredible £14,500 for children and young people in the region with cancer.
Emily Mukherjee from Yorkshire Food Guide said: “We’re so excited to be Candlelighters’ company of the month, and have loved working with Samantha, Jemma, Chris and the rest of the team to fundraise at our debut fine dining event. We were so pleased that the event managed to raise £14,500.
It was a fantastic celebration of great food, Yorkshire hospitality and generosity.
We got to visit The Square and learn more about the incredible work this charity does for children with cancer and their families in the Yorkshire region. We’re really looking forward to continuing to fundraise for Candlelighters this year, and into the next!”
These vital funds could provide 290 birthday boxes for a child celebrating their special day in hospital, a huge impact to have. Thank you so much to everyone who supported, attended and got involved in the event to make it all possible.
Samantha Williams, Partnerships Development Manager at Candlelighters said: “We’re incredibly grateful to Yorkshire Food Guide for organising such a fantastic foodie event in aid of Candlelighters. They brought together some of Yorkshire’s most talented chefs, generous sponsors and passionate supporters for an outstanding five-course dining experience. It was a truly special evening that will make a real difference to children with cancer and their families across Yorkshire.
The support, energy and generosity shown by everyone involved was simply overwhelming. It was moving to see so many people united in support of families facing some of the toughest times imaginable, and we know the impact of the funds raised will be felt by families across the region.
Candlelighters receives no government funding, so partnerships and fundraising events like this are vital in helping us continue to provide emotional, practical and financial support to children with cancer and their families. We can’t thank the Yorkshire Food Guide team enough for choosing to support Candlelighters in such a meaningful way.”
Thank you so much Yorkshire Food Guide!
