StreetSmart is that impressively efficient and professionally run charity that raises money via restaurants to help homeless people. In 2010, nearly £350,000 was raised in London alone to offer practical help for people less fortunate than you and me. In London 280 restaurants took part last year, and the money went to 40 local homeless projects across 16 London boroughs. That’s why Time Out is happy to support it. Because the main sponsor, Deutsche Bank, covers the full costs of administration and production, every penny raised during the two-month scheme (running from November 1 to December 31) goes towards helping the homeless during the difficult winter months.
So please do participate this year. If you’re dining out at a restaurant which participates in the StreetSmart scheme, please add the voluntary donation of £1. Visit www.streetsmart.org.uk for more details and a list of participating restaurants.
