Thanks to the generosity and spirit of our exhibitors, visitors, and organisers, a total of £16,497.75 has been raised in support of Hospitality Action.

Of this, £15,862 was donated directly by the show’s organiser, Lockhart Catering Equipment, with an additional £635.75 raised through our online charity raffle. The raffle featured an amazing selection of prizes kindly donated by our exhibitors, ranging from professional kitchen equipment to dining essentials — a true showcase of the industry’s creativity and generosity.

At the inaugural Catering Innovation Show, Lockhart Catering Equipment partnered with Hospitality Action to host an online and in-person raffle. Tickets were available for £10 each, and more than thirty exhibitors generously provided prizes to help raise funds for the cause.

The draw took place during the event, with lucky winners announced and prizes delivered by the donating exhibitors. Beyond the raffle, Lockhart’s additional fundraising efforts helped push the total to over £16,000 — a fantastic achievement for the show’s first year.
