According to the June 2024 economic report by the Events Industry Alliance Ltd (EIA), the events industry contributed £10.9 billion to the UK economy last year. At the same time, The Trussell Trust reported a 94% increase in food bank use over the last five years. Although we should celebrate continued success stories in the events industry as we approach pre-pandemic levels of activity, it's important we remember that for working people, the cost of living crisis continues, and it disproportionately affects kids, with 1.1 million food parcels distributed to children alone between 1st April 2023 and 31st March 2024. At ESM, we've decided to start getting a bit more involved with our own local community, starting with a collection for Swale Foodbank, which does great work helping local people in crisis. To learn more about what they do, find out how you can get involved, or locate your nearest foodbank visit their website: https://lnkd.in/giYdUaEn We'd love to hear about the all the ways your businesses (particularly in the events industry) have been getting involved with helping your local communities, be it fundraisers, collections or donations. Let's share ideas on the best ways we can start giving back, with a view to making the world a better place for everyone.

Community First: How MISC. Parramatta Gives Back to the People Who Support Us At MISC. Parramatta, we believe that a restaurant is more than just a place to dine—it’s a cornerstone of the community. The support we’ve received from our local patrons has been the driving force behind our success, and we’re committed to giving back in meaningful ways. From collaborating with local charities and sponsoring events that matter to our neighbourhood, to supporting local suppliers and artisans, we strive to ensure that our success translates into opportunities for the people around us. Sometimes, giving back can be as simple as gifting a meal or surprising someone with a voucher to put a smile on their face. Small gestures make a big impact, and we love finding ways to brighten someone’s day. Whether it’s through fundraising initiatives, food donations, or offering our space for community events, we’re always seeking new ways to make a positive difference. At the end of the day, we’re not just a restaurant—we’re a community partner. And as we continue to grow, we want to ensure that our community grows with us. How does your business give back to the community that supports you? Let’s share ideas and keep the momentum going! #MISCParramatta #CommunityFirst #GivingBack #SupportLocal #HospitalityWithHeart

Or, are you in the camp that believes they're not profitable at all, just the right thing to do?

A small tool can make a big difference. Many food banks distribute canned goods, but not everyone has access to a can opener. Consider donating one today to help ensure families can easily prepare their meals. It’s a simple way to lend a hand and make life a little easier for those in need. 🥫 #DonateWithPurpose #SmallActsBigImpact #HelpOthers #WesseltInitiative

Be Kind Be Grateful #34 – Create an alumni group where colleagues share stories of kindness and its impact, inspiring others to pay it froward and continue the cycle of good will. #33 – With Christmas coming, if you have toys that your children do not play with anymore, consider giving them to charities or goodwill stores so less fortunate children can have a toy under the tree this year. #32 – If you have unredeemed loyalty points that will not be used, if available, consider donating them to charity rather than having them expire. #31 – Hosting a holiday party, rather than say to your quests, please bring nothing. Help your local food bank and ask them to bring a non-perishable food item. Set out a box at your front door and see what your family and friends give back to the community. I think you will be surprised. #30 – Put together a ‘Health and Happiness Box’ for a teacher, pastor, or a person in need. This box might have some home baked cookies, healthy snacks, candle, bath salts and a note of thanks. Please share and add other comments or suggestions to the list.
