Social foodie site GiveADinnerParty to raise funds for charity

Howard Lake | 23 September 2016 | News

Diners and food-lovers can now indulge their passion for food, raise funds for charity, and connect with their local community via online platform GiveADinnerParty.com.
The service is designed to make it easy to meet new, like-minded people who live close-by, by hosting or attend a food-based event in their local area. It could be a dinner party, breakfast, a barbecue, or it could be drinks and nibbles, afternoon tea or even a picnic in the park.
All food events are listed on the site and searchable. Members can buy tickets and chose which charity they would like to benefit from their participation in the event.

How much to charity?

GiveADinnerParty.com has already signed up 50 UK charities to benefit from the events, including Oxfam, British Heart Foundation, Macmillan Cancer Support, Mind and Save the Children.
The company says that “a minimum of 50% of the cost of each ticket sold goes to charity”.
Although the site is mainly targeting Londoners for the initial launch, events can be hosted anywhere in the UK.
The platform aims for transparency and personal safety, with all parties encouraged to leave reviews for one another.
Mark Viegas, Founder of GiveADinnerParty.com said:

“Inspired by our own experiences when moving to a new area, we created Giveadinnerparty.com as a fun solution for those looking to expand their friendship base. Through the age-old method of meal sharing, we’re looking to bring back the basic principles of community. After making sure everything is safe and secure for our users, we look forward to seeing people sign up to host events and make memories.”
