Meet the man in Rugby who is using his fish & chip shop to help vulnerable people amid the pandemicThe ITV Central Pride of Britain Regional Fundraising Award is given to an individual from the West Midlands, who has gone above and beyond for others, and raised money for charity.A man in Rugby is using his fish and chip shop to help people struggling during the pandemic.
Andreas Kattou came up with the idea of ‘Sharing is Caring’ just over ten months ago.
It means a customer can come into the shop and pay in advance for someone else’s meal. The payment slips become meal vouchers which Andreas gives to the Hope4 charity in Rugby. They help people who are homeless, badly housed or hungry.
Andreas says more than 1,500 meals have been given out so far. And in a school half term, he provided 1,600 free lunches for children.
He’s now joined forces with another chip shop to form ‘Fish United.’ Events are planned for charity, with the next due to take place on October 24th.
