NATIONAL KP DAY 2023: CELEBRATING STAFF FOR CHARITY
KP Day 2023 celebrated kitchen porters and raised money for a great cause
If you’ve got a great kitchen porter, then June 22nd was the day to let the world know. That was date of the tenth KP Day, organised by Winterhalter to celebrate the importance of KPs to foodservice. And for every picture of a KP posted on Instagram or Twitter the company made a donation to Hospitality Action.
“KP day is a way of raising the profile of the amazing work KPs do, day in day out, in a fun way,” says Stephen Kinkead, Managing Director of Winterhalter UK. “We’ve had some amazing pictures down the years, and every contribution raises money for a great cause.”
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.
“Winterhalter has been a staunch supporter for many years,” says Mark Lewis, Chief Executive of Hospitality Action. “We’re grateful to them for having been picked as the nominated charity for KP Day once again, thanks to them we're able to transform the lives of hospitality employees who have fallen on hard times.”
KP Day is open to the whole foodservice industry. No matter what kind of kitchen you run, if you've got a KP you can join in the fun.
