Structure, governance and management
The charity is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) registered on 1 August 2018.
Charitable Purposes
Hospitality Health is a Scottish charity, formed in August 2018 to support staff in the amazing world of hospitality. It is clear, that for several years, the industry has become more stressful for and extremely hardworking management and staff.
The trustees decided it was time to act and help those who needed support, by providing wellbeing advice, mental health first aid training and signposting organisations that can help. We hope we can make a difference, even to a few individuals.
In addition, we award a Wellness charter to the businesses that are putting their people first.
We are promoting an Employee Assistance Programme , from The Burnt Chef project, to make the business a better employer for staff. We are sure this will assist in reducing recruitment and increase retention within the organisation.
Purpose - Hospitality Health was formed to support the wellbeing of staff and students in the hospitality industry.
Mission -To provide support to individuals within the hospitality industry in areas of mental health, addiction and wellbeing.
Vision - Our vision is to join the areas of support through a one stop shop, 2 clicks, allowing individuals to improve and maintain better health.
Values - using our knowledge, skills and understanding, we will support members of the hospitality industry in becoming healthier.

Annual Report and Accounts for the Year Ended 31 August 2025
I report on the accounts of Hospitality Health for the year ended 31 August 2025, which are set out on pages 6 to 7.
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
The charity trustees are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the terms of the Charities and Trustees Investment (Scotland) 2005 Act and the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. The charity trustees consider that the audit requirement of Regulation 10 (1) (d) of the Accounts Regulations does not apply. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 44 (1) (c) of the Act and to state whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s statement
My examination is carried out in accordance with Regulation 11 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanation from the trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In the course of my examination of the statement of accounts for the year ended 31 August 2025, no matter has come to my attention:
-
which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements:
-
e to keep accounting records have not been kept in accordance with Section 44 (1) (a) of the Charities and Trustee Investments (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulation 4 of The Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006, and
-
e to prepare accounts which accord with those records and comply with Regulation 9 of the 2006 Accounts Regulations, have not been met, or
-
to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
