Headway Jersey Launches Soup Kitchen Fundraiser in St Helier

Headway Jersey is set to host a fundraising soup kitchen on March 6, 2024, in St Helier. The event invites islanders to enjoy a variety of soups, with all proceeds supporting the charity’s wellbeing and rehabilitation services at its Day Centre.

The soup kitchen will take place at Charing Cross, outside the Santander Work Café, from 11:00 to 14:00. Local chefs from renowned establishments, including The Atlantic Hotel led by chef Will Holland and Tavola with chef Tom Radiguet, have generously created and donated soups for the occasion. Additionally, culinary students from Highlands College, under the guidance of chef Dom Farrell, will contribute to the menu.

In addition to soups, attendees can purchase an array of cakes and cookies from local bakeries, further enhancing the community spirit of the event.

Headway’s Day Centre plays a vital role in the local community, assisting over 40 islanders weekly who are recovering from brain injuries, strokes, road accidents, or trauma. The centre focuses on improving lives through specialized rehabilitation, physiotherapy, cognitive and emotional support, and fostering social connections.

This fundraising initiative not only aims to raise essential funds but also brings the community together, highlighting the importance of support and connection in overcoming challenges. With a diverse selection of soups and baked goods, it promises to be a delicious and meaningful event for all participants.
