| Key Facts | We are a globally recognised not-for-profit Social Enterprise designed to burn away the stigma surrounding mental health in the worldwide hospitality trade. We engage with staff in order to de-stigmatise mental health issues and generate donations in order to train front-line staff in mental health and business owners in better working conditions. |
| About Us | Launched in May 2019, The Burnt Chef Project was setup with the sole intention of eradicating mental health stigma within hospitality. Long antisocial hours, tough environmental conditions and pressures to perform are just some of the issues that hospitality professionals are fighting against on a daily basis. Margins are slim and with increased focus on saving money both employers and employees feel the effect of this on their mental health. We 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'. As part of our ongoing mission and goal to support the industry, we provide a wide range of tools, services and education 100% of profits raised from the sales in our store go towards providing free-to-access support services for the industry. By providing these services we are challenging the stigma of mental health whilst beginning to create a culture of care and compassion which will improve recruitment opportunities whilst also reducing turnover rates. Together we will pave the way to a healthier, happier and more sustainable hospitality industry. |
| More Details | We are always on the lookout for enthusiastic people to help us spread our message of de-stigmatising mental health issues and stress within the hospitality industry.
