Heartwood Collection partners with Magic Breakfast to fight child hunger in Dorset with year-long fundraising campaign

Heartwood Collection has partnered with Magic Breakfast, a prominent children’s charity in the UK.

This collaboration aims to support children and young people in Dorset by ensuring they have access to nutritious breakfasts, thus preventing hunger from hindering their ability to learn.

Over the next year, Heartwood Inns and Brasserie Blanc locations across Dorset will conduct a variety of fundraising events to aid in providing these breakfasts.

Magic Breakfast works to eliminate morning hunger as a barrier to learning, reaching more than 200,000 children and young people daily by providing breakfasts and advisory services to schools across England and Scotland.

Heartwood Collection’s first major fundraising initiative will be a “quizathon,” featuring charity quiz nights at all Heartwood Inns and Brasserie Blanc locations between October 28 and November 19, in partnership with Lucky Cow Quizzes.

Tickets are priced at £40 per person, which includes a three-course seasonal meal and live entertainment. Of each ticket sold, £5 will be donated to Magic Breakfast. Participants will also have the opportunity to win various prizes.

In addition to the quiz nights, Heartwood Collection plans to host a range of other events, including sponsored walks, cycling events, and car washes. Details of these activities will be shared through the company’s social media channels, website, and email communications.

Richard Ferrier, CEO of Heartwood Collection said:

“We are delighted to be working with Magic Breakfast as Heartwood Collection’s chosen charity and supporting the important work they do in schools across the country. The quizzes are the first activity of what promises to be a full year of fundraising efforts and we are sure our guests will be really supportive in helping us achieve our goals.”

Ali Roberts, Head of Corporate Partnerships at Magic Breakfast said:

“Magic Breakfast is delighted to be working with Heartwood Collection. Thanks to the incredible fundraising efforts of you and your guests, we aim to provide 100,000 breakfasts for children and young people at risk of going hungry.

Thank you to Heartwood Collection, your support is highly valued.”
