National Fish and Chip Day – Charity Walk

The biggest day in the fish & chip calendar – National Fish & Chip Day returns for its 10th Anniversary in just a matter of weeks!! NEODA has been joined once again by two leading lights in the fish and chip industry, Hook and Fish Packaging Range – exclusively available from The Q Partnership and Middleton Foods.

Following on from the tremendous success of the 2024 National Fish and Chip Day, the Q Partnership (Henry Colbeck’s, Friars Pride and V.A.Whitley) return this year to celebrate and hopefully raise a lot of money for their chosen charities.

This year, volunteers from each of the three companies aim to complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks – A 24-miles (38.6km) round trip route and includes 1585m (5200ft) of ascent. Consisting of Pen-y-Ghent (694 metres), Whernside (736 metres) and Ingleborough (723 metres).

The chosen charities are; The Fisherman’s Mission, who provide support in health and wellbeing, welfare, emergency and family support to fishermen and their families. Springhill Hospice, who provide the highest standard of care for patients with life-limiting illnesses, situated in Rochdale, North-West and the British Heart Foundation who continue to help, support and create new treatments and cures for heart diseases.

Rob Fernandes, Marketing Manager at V.A.Whitley said “We are extremely proud and excited to be doing this challenge. V.A.Whitley along with our friends and colleagues across the Q Partnership are really wanting to raise the profile again of National Fish and Chip Day – celebrating the Nations Favourite Dish. I would love to see a day where every shop wants to get involved – it’s a great opportunity for shops to showcase their great food! Hopefully we can also raise a lot of much needed funds for our chosen charities – something that is very important to each of our family-owned companies.”

Rebecca Lord, Managing Director, Friars Pride said “The Yorkshire Three Peaks will definitely give us a challenge! Delicious fish & chips will be a well-earned and very welcome treat at the end of a long day! The Challenge is a fantastic opportunity for team Friars Pride to highlight a momentous 10 years of ‘National Fish & Chip Day’ alongside our friends at The Q Partnership as well as raise funds for three worthwhile charities. We hope you will be able to support us by celebrating National Fish & Chip Day on 6th June and make a donation to our chosen charities.”

The Q Partnership will also continue to support National Fish and Chip Day with customers looking forward to FREE posters, merchandise competitions, LIMITED EDITION Hook & Fish ‘National Fish and Chip Day’ Lite Bite Boxes and Printed Greaseproof and much more.
