The Big Table Group holds fundraising events for National Children’s Day

Employees took on physical and community challenges, from skydives to haircuts.

The Big Table Group marked National Children’s Day by holding fundraising events for its new charity partner, Dreams Come True, which supports seriously ill or disabled children living in poverty.

The partnership began earlier this year, and teams across the group’s restaurant chains, including Bella Italia, Las Iguanas, Banana Tree, Frankie & Benny’s, and Chiquito, have raised over £50,000.

Employees took part in a wide range of physical and community-based challenges, including marathons, mountain climbs, skydives, bungee jumps, and haircuts to raise money.

Others cycled, picked up litter, and organised local events to support the cause.

Dreams Come True delivers personalised experiences for children aged five to 18.

The partnership continues throughout 2025, with in-restaurant activities, customer campaigns, and national fundraising events.
