UK restaurants support Action Against Hunger’s 2025 campaign

Written by: Edward Waddell
Hundreds of the UK’s top restaurants have united for the 2025 Restaurants Against Hunger campaign, launched on 1st September by humanitarian charity Action Against Hunger.

Participating venues invite diners to add an optional £1 to their bills, an initiative that has already raised over £4.4 million since its launch. Funds go directly to Action Against Hunger’s life-saving work in 56 countries, supporting communities in crisis through nutrition, food security and emergency response programmes. 

From Michelin-starred institutions to independent bistros, Restaurants Against Hunger mobilises the hospitality sector to turn passion for food into concrete action.   

Will Beckett, co-founder of Hawksmoor steakhouse and restaurant chain, said: “Partnering with Restaurants Against Hunger has a real, tangible impact on people facing malnutrition. I’ve seen Action Against Hunger’s work first-hand with my co-founder in places like Liberia and Lebanon, supporting malnourished children and refugees with dignity and care. 

“Customers and staff alike want to be part of something meaningful. They want to know their restaurant is doing its part to make a difference. That’s why I urge any restaurant that wants to give back to join the Restaurants Against Hunger campaign. We come back to it every year because we always start the year asking ourselves how we can do something good. It just feels right to help those who don’t have enough to eat.”
