🇬🇧 WE’LL KEEP FIGHTING — 10% VAT IS FAIR!

From all of us at Greedy Gordons, we’ll continue to fight for a fairer deal for British hospitality.

The campaign for 10% hospitality VAT is gathering momentum, with hundreds of thousands now backing change and pressure building ahead of the October Budget.

This isn’t about asking for an easy ride. It’s about protecting pubs, restaurants, jobs and local communities and giving hospitality the opportunity to invest and grow.

With VAT at 20% alongside rising wages, food, energy and business rates, something has to change.

✍️ PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION & SHARE:
https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/733391

📢 VAT’S THE PROBLEM.
📉 10% IS FAIR.
❤️ BACK BRITISH HOSPITALITY.

Richard, Sonya & everyone at Greedy Gordons

❤️ STEPPING UP OUR SUPPORT THIS BACK-TO-SCHOOL MONTH ❤️

We know September can be an incredibly expensive time for families. New school uniforms, shoes, stationery and all the other costs of getting children back to school soon add up.

That’s why this month Greedy Gordons has stepped up our support for Home-Start Kettering, providing freshly prepared, hearty family meal kits twice a week.

🍽️ 10 families supported every Tuesday
🍽️ 10 families supported every Thursday
❤️ 20 families receiving meals each week

This week, families have enjoyed our freshly made sausage casserole with fresh vegetables and potatoes, complete with simple cooking instructions so everything can be finished at home.

And we’ll be doing it all again next week.

It might only be one evening where a family doesn’t have to worry about what to cook or how they’re going to pay for it, but sometimes taking away that little bit of pressure can make a very big difference.

We’re incredibly proud to continue supporting families in our local community through Home-Start Kettering.

Good food. Local people. Supporting our community when it matters. ❤️

Thank you to Greedy Gordons for another delivery of freshly made meals. 20 families have enjoyed a delicious sausage casserole complete with fresh vegetables and potatoes this week, this makes a huge difference to families struggling with the cost of back to school items, such as uniforms, shoes and stationary. Taking the stress away from having to cook for an evening also makes a difference ❤️
