During the month customers
of the Durham
based Asian bar and kitchen were offered the ' Early Buddha' menu that would
donate five pounds to the Hospice. Some
175 people took up the offer of great food and adding to the funds of a very
well respected local charity.
" The hospice has done
a great job for the people surrounding the City for years and we were looking
at some way to help them. Not only did
the diners have a delightful meal in great surroundings but they also helped to
raise money and awareness of the work that St. Cuthbert's does." said
Managing Director of Fat Buddha Bob Senior.
Fat Buddha has been in Durham for over eight years and now has a sister restaurant
in Newcastle with another in Sunderland
opening during the summer.
Kay Welsh, Senior Donor Development
Fundraiser at the Hospice was delighted
to collect the cheque from the restaurant fro £875:
“We are grateful to each and every one of the diners
who came along to Fat Buddha and helped raise this money. Of course we’d also
like to thank Bob and his staff for thinking of us in this way. It created
great interest as well as much needed funds. Fat Buddha served us up a treat.”
