A luncheon was generously hosted today by Marco Pierre White for FESH at his Maresfield restaurant, WHEELER’S at the Chequers, to launch our fantastic new fundraising campaign, NOSHCHEZNOUS.
The campaign calls for willing hosts or hostesses to ask friends, family, schoolmates or work colleagues to a food event of any kind, inviting a discretionary donation to FESH for our hospices. It is hoped that everyone, not just foodies, will answer the call and come up with innovative ideas – absolutely anything goes! Hostess packs, which include invitation cards and a NOSHCHEZNOUS apron will be sent to anyone wishing to hold an event.
Marco Pierre White said of NOSHCHEZNOUS
“This is a wonderful way to enjoy the pleasurable experience of cooking for family and friends while supporting local hospices which help so many of our families and friends.“
FESH Chairman, Kathy Gore, commented: “I hope that Sussex will take NOSHCHEZNOUS into its homes and hearts to help our hospices continue to deliver their care when it is most needed. Our hospices survive thanks to local support. Sussex hospices are the most poorly funded group of hospices in the UK, receiving only 22% state funding compared to the 32% national average.
