We can hardly believe it, our partnership with Dishoom is now 10 years old!
Since 2015, our much-loved restaurant partner has been doing something truly special, for every breakfast served in their restaurants (or ordered online), they donate the cost of a breakfast to us to help a child in need.
Thanks to their generous ‘meal for a meal’ initiative (entirely funded by Dishoom, not the customer) countless children and young people have started their day with the food they need to learn and thrive. Now the initiative has reached an amazing milestone and Dishoom has donated 25 million meals to their two charity partners; Magic Breakfast in the UK and The Akshaya Patra Foundation who are doing invaluable work to tackle child hunger in India.
But Dishoom’s support goes far beyond donations. They also host regular Magic Breakfast Takeovers, where pupils from our partner schools are invited into Dishoom cafés for a morning of fun and food. The children get to enjoy a delicious breakfast, meet the wonderful team, and even try their hand at making naan in the kitchen! For some, it’s their very first time in a restaurant — and it’s always a magical experience.
We’re incredibly grateful to Dishoom for a decade of dedication, compassion, and action. Their ongoing commitment to helping children across England, Scotland, and India start each day with full tummies and bright futures is a partnership we’re so very proud of. To top it all off, we’re thrilled that this incredible partnership has just won the Medium Corporate Partnership of the Year at the Third Sector Awards! We’re delighted that the impact we have achieved together was recognised at the awards – thank you Third Sector and a huge well done to everyone who has worked on the partnership over the years.
