We proudly support
The idea for Under One Sky (UOS) came from founder Mikkel Juel Iversen's personal experience of supporting two homeless friends for one year on his own initiative.
From 2012 to 2019, UOS delivered a handful of large Skywalk outreach events each Winter, and the volunteer base grew steadily from eight people to over 600.
Covid-19 was the incident which forced UOS to grow from a Winter pop-up campaign to a 24/7 lights-on operation. During the height of the pandemic their teams supported 600 people daily. In the first year of Covid-19 our teams served our homeless friends 75,000 times, and their volunteer base grew to more than 1,000 compassionate human beings.
Launched in May 2019 The Burnt Chef Project was setup with the sole intention of eradicating mental health stigma within the hospitality industry.
TBC recently conducted a survey of 1273 hospitality professionals which showed that 8 out of 10 (84%) of respondents had experienced mental health issues within their career and 46% would not feel comfortable talking about their health concerns with their colleagues.
Hospitality staff should be able to discuss the state of their mental health and gain support from their peers and employers. It's important that although mental health can't be seen it is regularly discussed and policies reviewed. This should be the new definition of 'badge of honour'.
Together we can burn away mental health stigma within hospitality once and for all.
