‘Networking in the City’ are hosting a business lunch in Manchester to raise awareness of charitable group, Refugee Action.

The successful networking group which attracts businesses from the property, construction and Finance sectors, regularly attracts 60+ people to their lunch meetings and are dedicating their February 29^th event to the cause.

The event, held at the Rajdoot Indian restaurant in St Ann’s Square is in support of Refugee Action’s first ever World Food Night and will supply tasty Indian food in order to raise plenty of ‘dough’ to help refugees!

Gemma Masingiri from Refugee Action will be speaking about an innovative Refugee Action project that’s changing lives in Manchester.

Steve Kettle, Owner of Networking in the City said:

“The World Food Night campaign Refugee Action are running has given us a great opportunity to get businesses involved in supporting our local community.  In an area as diverse as Manchester, it is important to get businesses as well as individuals looking at the bigger picture of our society.

The world food theme ties in well with Curry club and helping raise awareness of great causes alongside people doing business means our attendees can make a real difference.”

Just £10 worth of donations will pay for hot drinks for more than 20 destitute asylum seekers living on the street, who can also have a shower and receive clean clothes, so anything raised will really be making a difference.

Alison Gregory, Refugee Action said:

‘Refugee Action is delighted about teaming up with Networking in the City and their Marketing Partner, Whale Marketing, for World Food Night.  The event, working with professionals across Manchester will help some of the most marginalised people in the city.’

Networking in the City have been running for 32 years and even have a plaque outside the Rajdoot where the Manchester curry club has been held since its launch.
