Book A Table
This January and February, we’re proud to partner with Friends of the Elderly, raising vital funds to support their grant service which helps older people stay warm and well during the cold winter months. Read more here.
At our restaurants, you’ll find an Invisible Soup on the menu. While no soup will arrive at your table, your generous donation will go directly to this important cause, making a real difference for vulnerable people who need it most.
Iris, 73, a Friends of the Elderly grant recipient, says: “It’s a real situation, where you really do have to choose whether to eat or heat your home. I don’t know what I would have done without Friends of the Elderly, there was no one I could turn to for help. I am eternally grateful.”
Grace Harvey, Senior Brand & Communications Manager at D&D London:
“Winter can be especially tough for older people, with many struggling to afford food or heat their homes due to the loss of the winter fuel payment, rising energy costs and increasing council tax. Our Invisible Soup initiative with Friends of the Elderly allows us and our guests to make a meaningful difference, helping vulnerable people stay warm and cared for throughout these cold months.”
Mark Wilson, Interim co-Chief Executive at Friends of the Elderly says:
“We are delighted to have D&D London’s support this winter. Their customers’ donations will directly fund our grants service, helping older people in desperate financial need. For many, we are their last resort, and these contributions will make a real difference in their lives.”
Friends of the Elderly’s grants service provides essential support for older people living in poverty, including winter clothing and bedding for warmth, help affording heating costs including bills and fuel (oil and logs), boiler repairs and maintenance, cookers to make warm meals, heat appliances, carpets and flooring, and critical repairs like new windows and doors to stop drafts, insulation, damp proofing and roofing.
Book your table today and join us in making this winter a little warmer with Friends of the Elderly.
