Dining for Dignity

While the evening will showcase exceptional gastronomy, its purpose reaches far beyond the plate.

Zarach is a Leeds-founded charity on a mission to end child bed poverty, helping children get a good night’s sleep and the chance to thrive at school.

Funds raised from the event, on the 22nd May, will directly enable Zarach to provide beds, mattresses, bedding and pyjamas for more than 300 vulnerable children.

Each ticket purchased and every donation made will contribute to transforming a child’s night and their future.

This event is truly going to be an evening to remember.
