For every picture taken of a kitchen porter that is posted on Twitter or Instagram on the day, Winterhalter will donate £2.50 to the charity, up to a maximum of £500.

Stephen Kinkead, managing director of Winterhalter UK, said: “KP Day is about having fun while raising the profile of hardworking KPs across the UK. In past years we’ve had some great pics that have raised a smile and in turn they’ve raised much needed cash for Hospitality Action.”

Hospitality Action provides vital support for people who work, or have worked, in the UK’s hospitality industry and who find themselves in crisis. They provide emergency grants for those in need, support for retired workers and education for catering students at the start of their career.

Mark Lewis, chief executive of Hospitality Action, added: “Thanks to supporters like our friends at Winterhalter, we’re able to transform the lives of many hospitality people who have fallen on hard times.”

To take part, simply share a picture of your kitchen porters on Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #kpday. Winterhalter is also currently searching for the KP of the Year 2022. To find out more and nominate your KP, visit here.
