68% of UK employees with money worries don’t tell their employer...
Working in hospitality isn’t always pints and plates. It’s one of the toughest industries for wellbeing, with 76% of hospitality workers reporting mental health struggles in 2024 and 74% stating they endured verbal abuse from customers.
That’s why we’ve partnered with The Licensed Trade Charity, to give our teams the support they deserve.
What’s included:
-
Confidential 24/7 helpline run by trained advisors who know the industry inside out.
-
Access to financial grants, advice and counselling.
-
A resource hub with over 6,500 tools – from benefit calculators to wellbeing podcasts.
Whether it’s money worries, housing issues, mental health or job concerns, support for our employees is always free, personal and completely confidential.
Because looking after our people is just as important as looking after our pubs.
