Celebrity chef and MF supporter - the perfect ingredients to make a huge difference

As a result of a successful bid at the Food for Thought event in May, which raised over £16,000 in total, MF supporters Jenny Ison and Daniel Dayan and their four guests recently enjoyed an extravagant meal created for them in their own home by Michelin-starred chef Paul Merrett.

This is a great example of how individual supporters have made a significant contribution to helping survivors of torture in 2007. Taking part in auctions and raffles is a vital part of our fundraising efforts and ensures we can continue to meet the demand for our services.

To find out more about MF events and how you can participate in our auctions please contact Carla Cornwell at events@torturecare.org.uk or on 020 7697 7755.
