Rise & Serve programme launches

3rd December 2025

We are really pleased to launch Rise & Serve – a unique, first of its kind Hospitality programme in the UK!

Rise & Serve aims to have a real world impact by tackling the challenges young people face through a creative, compelling, and inclusive approach.

Rise & Serve is an 8-week, hands-on experience where young people work together to design, build, and run their own pop-up restaurant for one night. From the first spark of an idea to the moment guests walk through the door, you’ll be involved in every step.

Delivered in partnership with and at The Grand Cookery School in York, the programme gives young people the chance to try real hospitality roles, learn new skills, and discover what they are capable of – all in a supportive and encouraging environment.

The event night will raise money for charity.
