A series of Supper Clubs organised by Charlie & Ivy’s to celebrate their 10th anniversary raised over £1,500 for HOPING (Helping Other People In Need Group) York Street Kitchen.
The four producer-led evening took place at The Cook’s Place in Malton, where diners enjoyed a three-course seasonally inspired supper cooked by the venue’s proprietor, Gilly Robinson.
Jennie Palmer, Charlie & Ivy’s marketing manager, said: “We were hoping to raise £1,000 over the four events, so we’re delighted to have exceeded our target by over 50%.
“Thanks to the generosity of the guest producers, Staal Smokehouse, Yorkshire Pasta, Puckett’s Pickles and Wold Top, with the support of other local artisan producers, including Luke’s Bakery, Yorkshire Wolds Apple Juice, Soanes Poultry and Masons, all of the proceeds after costs went to HOPING.”
HOPING prepares and distributes meals for people in food poverty and is Breckenholme’s charity partner until 2027. To date, the team has raised over £6,000 through events and sales of a limited-edition product.
Helen Meadows, trustee at HOPING, said: “We have been overwhelmed by the support, both practically and financially, that Charlie & Ivy’s has provided to us as their charity partner these past 2 years. This money will go directly into buying the ingredients used by our incredible volunteer cooks and essential items for our outdoor kitchen, which operates every Sunday in the grounds of King’s Manor, 2.30-4pm.
