What an amazing turnout for the first-ever Healthy Hospo Charity Soccer Match! The atmosphere was electric as hospitality workers, industry leaders, and supporters came together for a fun-filled day of sport, connection, and raising awareness for mental health in hospitality.
A massive thank you to the event’s creators, Jamie Wolf and CJ Lovell from @mise.en.misplaced, for their vision and effort in bringing this initiative to life. Your dedication to creating positive change is truly inspiring! A heartfelt shoutout to our sponsors, players, and the incredible volunteers who made it all possible — we couldn’t have done it without you.
Building a Healthier Hospitality Industry Together
The Healthy Hospo Charity Soccer Match wasn’t just about the game; it was a celebration of our collective commitment to creating a healthier, more sustainable hospitality industry. The funds raised from this event will go toward the Healthy Mind Menu Toolkit — a groundbreaking online course designed to upskill managers, small business owners, supervisors, and HR professionals in understanding the psychosocial factors affecting mental health.
This toolkit is the culmination of a two-year collaboration with Edith Cowan University (ECU), and it’s set to become a game-changer in supporting mental health across the hospitality sector.
Why It Matters
Mental health is a crucial topic in hospitality, where long hours, high-pressure environments, and burnout are all too common. At Healthy Mind Menu, we’re passionate about equipping our industry with the tools and resources to create lasting change. Events like this soccer match remind us of the power of community in achieving our mission.
