SUSTAINABILITY & CHARITY AT CUBITT HOUSE

SUSTAINABILITY & CHARITY AT CUBITT HOUSE

Our Charitable Partners:

As a large employer across central and West London we are pleased to be involved in a variety of initiatives, both local community based as well as more regional, national and international that benefit people who might not have access to the basics we take for granted, like food, homes, education and medicine.  We are also conscious of our impact on the planet and our joint responsibility to balance this wherever we can. 

Throughout the year we add a voluntary £1.29 to all our bills giving the opportunity for you, our customers to contribute. We have raised hundreds and thousands of pounds over the years. The primary focus of our support, in this way, is to the Carbon Friendly Dining and Gift Tree initiative. To date, and over the last 5 years we have raised the money to plant close to 500,000 trees. Carbon neutrality and environmental sustainability are key challenges society faces. You are helping to tackle this, while providing communities in developing countries with the opportunity to create permanent positive change for themselves.

We are also very proud to work with Streetsmart in the run up to Christmas for the last 4 years. Again, by inviting our diners to contribute £1 to their bill we have collectively donated £62,392 to Streetsmart since 2022. StreetSmart was established in 1998 and since then has raised over £12 million for homeless and vulnerable people across the UK. 

New for 2026 we are also supporting FoodCycle in this way during the month of October. With community dining, week in, week out FoodCycle feed the hungry and give company to the lonely in our communities; providing delicious meals and great conversation, and using food which would otherwise go to waste.

Another recent initiative we have been very pleased to be involved in is the Burnt Chef Project. This project is a non-profit social enterprise fully committed to making the hospitality profession healthier and more sustainable by providing mental health support and education to the hospitality industry. We are proud to say that Cubitt House raised over £10,000 in August 2025 for this project through the voluntary bill contribution.

Other Charities that are close to our heart and we have supported in recent years include: Cook for Ukraine, for which we raised £26,507,  Duchenne UK, £4,004, My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, £7,078 and the RNLI. We are also a hospitality Partner for The National Youth Theatre and a sponsor of The Roundhouse.

We always try to support as many community projects and campaigns as we can. These include raffle prizes for local schools and churches, among others, recent examples include The Fishermen’s Mission and supporting a London Marathon run for Leukaemia UK.
