About The Wellness Charter
Hospitality Health is a Scottish charity established in August 2018 to support the dedicated individuals working in the vibrant hospitality industry. In recent years, the pressures on this hardworking sector have grown, affecting both employees and management.
Recognising the need for action, the charity’s trustees set out to provide wellbeing advice and connect those in need with organisations that can offer support. Their mission is simple: to make a meaningful difference, even if it’s to just one person.
