Masterchef judge Monica Galetti urges Londoners to add £1 to restaurant bills to raise money for homeless

Ted Hennessey1 November 2019

Masterchef judge Monica Galetti today backed a campaign asking Londoners to add £1 to their restaurant bill to raise money for the homeless.

StreetSmart, the annual restaurant initiative tackling homelessness, was launched today — allowing diners in the capital to donate to projects over the festive season. By adding a voluntary £1 to bills, StreetSmart has raised £9.5 million since it began in 1998 enabling it to support charities, hostels and projects that help those on the streets or in unsuitable accommodation.

There are 409 London restaurants involved with the campaign this year, including the Mere Restaurant in Fitzrovia, which is owned by Galetti, right. The chef said: “Anything we can do to alleviate the pain of homelessness, especially at this time of year, is worthwhile. With StreetSmart it is so easy and 100 per cent of the money raised goes direct to people most in need.”

Other participating restaurants include The River Café, Quo Vadis, Chiltern Firehouse, Barrafina, Café Murano, Ottolenghi, Flor, Scully, Granger & Co, Skylon and Core. StreetSmart has teamed up with LandAid, the property industry charity, to help deliver its 2019 programme. This year there will be a particular focus on youth homelessness and addressing food poverty.

Figures from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government show the number of homeless families in England has risen by 11 per cent in a year. Charity Centrepoint said 103,000 young people asked for help with homelessness last year.

The money raised from the campaign will support local charities, hostels and projects. About £600,000 was raised in London last year.

The Felix Project, which was at the heart of the Standard’s Food for London Campaign and redistributes 30 tonnes of surplus food to 250 charities in the capital, will be supported by StreetSmart this year. StreetSmart and LandAid also helped fund the renovation of a former supermarket in Archway into a 40-bedroom shelter run by the charity Shelter From The Storm.
