The donation of Euro Catering’s Aristarco AF50.35ESIMDW+ 18-plate undercounter dishwasher will support the day-to-day running of the café, where meals are prepared and shared in a safe, welcoming environment.

“We first learned about The Bridge through a personal connection in the local area who had been working with the charity, and after exploring its work, it was clear that The Bridge did great work and we were happy to assist.

Knowing that The Bridge supports people experiencing homelessness and runs a Community Café really shaped our decision. In a place where meals are prepared and shared, something like a dishwasher isn’t just a convenience - it helps keep things running smoothly and hygienically. If donating it could free up time and energy for what really matters, caring for people, then it felt like the right thing to do.

We hope it shows that practical support matters. Even contributions that may seem small compared to the size of a business can make a real difference to charities doing vital work every day. We would strongly encourage other businesses to consider offering practical support where they can.”

Melanie Charlton, Director at Euro Catering

“We are extremely grateful to Euro Catering for donating the commercial dishwasher. This generous contribution will make a real difference to the daily running of our Community Café, supporting our staff and volunteers, and helping us to maintain a safe, efficient and welcoming environment for everyone who comes through our doors. Practical donations like this free up valuable time and resources, allowing us to focus on what matters most – providing our guests with respect, care and support.”
