About last night….

Last night was the return of the annual Members cocktail party and what a night it was🍸🍹

The magic behind the scenes that turns the members lawn buffet into an area fit for a cocktail party within minutes couldn’t be done with the hard work of our logistics team, culinary team and front of house staff! It’s amazing what team work can do👏💪

Like the ice sculpture, it was ‘a serve’🤩

We have awarded our first few ‘Aces of the day’ over the past couple of days and what a start to our Wimbledon Way recognition scheme 💜💚

Our sister site Raynes Park, recognised two of their team member, Tony for being the embodiment of our Wimbledon way standards and always going above and beyond and Joanne for ‘being an absolute godsend’ and always looking for something to do, clean or improve 💪

Onsite, we recognised few of our key back of house team. Dominic our kitchen porter working in LTA Advantage suite, was recognised for reorganising his back of house area and his superb attention to detail 🔍 as well as Jerah for heading up the entire back of house area for our No.1 Court Suites, for being an incredible leader to his team albeit the challenges and for always displaying a winning smile! 😁

Today is Stop Food Waste Day, which is the largest single day of action in the fight against global food waste 🍓🍌

Sustainability and reducing food waste are something we are extremely passionate here at Food and Drink at Wimbledon, here’s a few things we do to contribute to stop food waste:

OLIO 🍤🥧🍊

Share more, waste less. We redistribute our unserved food to the local community with any remaining food so that we get spare food on tables, rather than it going in the bin.

CITY HARVEST 🥗🍗🍱

City Harvest is London’s first food redistribution charity. We have partnered with them since 2020 and worked with them to redistribute food to the most vulnerable and deserving fellow Londoners, from the oldest to the youngest, the newest arrivals and the people with the deepest roots in the city.

THE PANTRY 🥙🍕🥪

At the end of each day, our staff can find food available in the Staff Restaurant packaged left over from our events and lunch time catering. This initiative is aimed to reduce food wastage and allow our teams to take home some of our delicious food!

FOOD WASTE 🍓🍌🍎

Food waste is collected for anaerobic digestion producing high quality fertiliser for agriculture and horticulture purposes

We are taking part in the Levy 1,000-Mile relay!

Over the months of April and May, Levy colleagues and venue teams are coming together to complete a 1,000-mile relay to raise funds for Paralympics GB. On the 1st May, our team at Food and Drink at Wimbledon will be walking 2 legs of the route from our home base of The All England Lawn and Tennis Club here in Wimbledon to Brentford FC, and then from Brentford FC to Twickenham Stadium, to pass the baton to the team there.

The route spans, 1,000 miles across Scotland, England and Wales, stopping and starting at many of our Levy venues along the way. The route is divided into 45-legs, and each leg is either cycled or walked. After each leg a baton is passed to the next team signalling the start of the next route - taking us one step closer to our fundraising aim.

The funds raised will help ParalypicsGB athletes reach their full potential for the Paris 2024 Paralympic Games - inspiring the nation and challenging perceptions of visibility throughout the UK. This is a cause we are all incredibly passionate about. Here at Levy UK + I, we are a proud supporter of ParalypicsGB and we support their vision to inspire a better world for disabled people through sport.

If you are able to, we encourage you follow the link below to donate to a brilliant cause 💚💜

World Mental Health Day is a day to talk about mental health and show everyone that mental health matters. It’s also a day to let people know that it’s okay to ask for help, no matter what you’re going through.

We invited our entire team for a breakfast 🥞 and a cuppa ☕️ to discuss mental health, how to support each other’s and generally spend some time together connecting.

As part of today’s activities we also challenged each others with few key things we could all do to support our collective mental health, let it be by taking a relaxing bath, listening to a podcast, or telling someone why we are proud of them 👏

We all committed to try something new and who knows maybe those will become lifelong habit which support our mental well-being💜💚

National Inclusion Week Wrap-up!

This week at Food and Drink at Wimbledon, we celebrated National Inclusion Week, bringing attention to The Compass Group D&I networks: Within, Women in Food, Ability, You Matter, and Pride in Food.

On Monday we held a D&I quiz which you can see our wonderful was the champion of 🏆

On Tuesday we spoke to Giselle, one of our Women in Food Ambassadors, about her experiences in the workplace and involvement with the network 👩‍🍳

On Wednesday, we held Walk and Talks around site which was a great way to ensure our colleagues spared some time in their day to talk to others and check-in with how they were feeling 🗣

On Thursday, our great Staff Restaurant team created some Pride themed deserts and our colleagues dressed in colourful clothing. As you can see the Logistics and Dispo team looked amazing 🏳️‍🌈

On Friday, each team took the time to complete a diversity flower as a way get to know eachother even better and to talk about the things that make them different 🌸

This week has been a great way to bring attention to D&I, but it doesn’t stop here! We will continue to ensure that everybody is included and understood each and everyday 💜💚

Keep an eye out in October for content about some of our colleagues who will be swapping roles and departments for a day in order to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes 👞
