Centrepoint, the leading youth homelessness charity, will bring the nation together this autumn to create the first ever Soupathon. The charity’s Big Broth will turn the nation into Souper Troupers, with the aim of more than 3,000 soup parties being held across the country in homes, offices and community spaces on and around 2nd November 2018. In an effort to raise money to support Centrepoint’s work with homeless 16-25-year-olds, the organisers hope the Soupathon will serve up 30,000 bowls of hearty soup.
Earlier this year, Centrepoint gave home-cook Omero Gallucci from Guildford, the winner of the Big Broth cook-off competition, the chance to have his delicious recipe produced by premium soup company Yorkshire Provender. The Red Pepper & Chorizo soup will be sold in Waitrose stores from autumn 2018, with Yorkshire Provender donating 20p from each pot sold directly to Centrepoint.
All funds raised will go towards Centrepoint’s work supporting more than 10,000 homeless young people each year into a home and a job.
