The Burnt Chef Project launches ‘ground-breaking’ global initiative
The global EAP provides free support and services to those in hospitality and their family members who don’t otherwise have cover, around the world. Launched in response to the urgent need for mental health support, the ‘ground-breaking’ initiative offers a 24/7 multilingual advice and therapy service at no cost to the hospitality professional.
Calling for donations from businesses and individuals alike, the crowdfunding target of £100,000 will ensure the service continues to provide essential mental health support to those who need it most.
Kris Hall, founder and chief executive of The Burnt Chef Project, said: “Launching global EAP was a milestone for The Burnt Chef Project – not least because it’s something never seen before at an international level. Within just a couple of weeks, the demand for the service had surpassed everything we’d predicted, demonstrating the crucial need for such a service globally.
“Working in conjunction with licenced professionals worldwide, we’ve been able to offer 24/7 support to those who need it most. To continue to provide the global EAP service to those in need for free, we urgently need the generous support of those in the sector.
“We’ve launched a crowdfunder with a target of £100,000. At a cost of around £60 to provide unlimited therapy and wellbeing resources for one person, it’s clear to see the cost implications of continuing to run the service free of charge. That’s why we’re calling for support from those in hospitality across the world – a donation of any size will help us to maintain and expand this vital service into the future.”
