<![CDATA[ TOP CELEBRITY CHEFS BACK MEATBALLS MONTH ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/top-celebrity-chefs-back-meatballs-month-6d88a0a3d0df46a2bdd9f2f397613f5b/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/top-celebrity-chefs-back-meatballs-month-6d88a0a3d0df46a2bdd9f2f397613f5b/ Monday 28 October, 2019

Top celebrity chefs - including Tom Kerridge, Angela Hartnett, Tom Parker-Bowles, Ken Hom and Chef to the Royal Family, Mark Flanagan - are backing a month-long ‘Meatballs Month’ national campaign which aims to raise money to fund ‘Muscle Dreams’ – transformational experiences for young children with the muscle wasting disease muscular dystrophy.


Meatballs Month is the brainchild of the Muscle Help Foundation (MHF) charity; the campaign aims to ignite the nation’s appetite for meatballs but at the same time encourage the flexing of fundraising muscles by throwing a meatball meal or party during the month of November.


Members of the public can download a kit from www.meatballmonth.com which provides invites, name cards and a fundraising guide to help organise a meatball party/dinner for friends and family whilst raising money for a Muscle Dream experience. Since it costs just £1,600 to fulfil each experience it is hoped that the initiative will result in the delivery of many more magical moments for children and young people with muscular dystrophy.


The standalone website features a host of delicious meatball recipes put together specifically for the campaign by some of the world’s finest chefs which in addition to those listed above also currently include Matthew Williamson (Rudding Park), Ben Tish (The Stafford Hotel & Norma), Hayden Groves (Executive Chef, Baxter Storey), Cyrus Todiwala (Café Spice Namaste), Andrei Lussmann (Lussmanns Fish & Grill Restaurant Group) and Head Chef Francesco Migliorin of Ristorante Frescobaldi.


Meatball party hosts can either choose a celebrity recipe for their party or conjure up their own culinary meatball masterpiece! Guests are urged to make donations – collected either by the party host and submitted or by individuals who can donate online.


In addition to raising valuable funds, Meatball Month is also designed to raise awareness of muscular dystrophy, a disease which currently has no cure. The average lifespan of someone with muscular dystrophy is 22 years old making the need to realise a child’s Muscle Dream all the more compelling – providing a life-changing experience for the beneficiary and a lasting memory for all the family to reflect upon during darker times. All participants are encouraged to share their meatball creations via social media, using the hashtag #meatballmonth.


A number of butchers and restaurants are also putting their weight behind the campaign, selling meatball packs and adding meatball dishes to their menus, and then donating a % of their takings to the charity.


Every child’s dream experience is personalised and MHF reports a number of benefits including improved confidence, greater self-esteem, increased sense of hopefulness and a powerful shared identity connecting the recipient with other families living with muscular dystrophy.


Key supporters of the charity’s Muscle Dream initiative include the Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone. 2020 will see the company host its 10th annual Muscle Dream Driving programme in support of the charity. Next year 10 young people and their families will enjoy an incredible two days at the centre, when the lucky petrol-head recipients from the across the UK will have the opportunity to ‘light-it-up’ on Porsche’s own dedicated track!


Many organisations have given their time and services for free, these include Airbus, Marriott International, Hilton, Tesla and global events agency, BCD Meetings & Events to name a few. Celebrities who have lent their support include Lewis Hamilton, Al Pacino and Ray Mears.


Via this campaign, The Muscle Help Foundation (www.musclehelp.com) is aiming to help realise many more Muscle Dream experiences. To date, the charity has delivered 297, leaving a further 360 to go before it reaches its goal of 657, that’s one for every muscle in the human body. As the charity says, that’s the #powerof657.

Note to editors


About the Muscle Help Foundation (MHF) – we work hard to avoid language such as ‘grant wishes’, in keeping with the approach of other well-known national charities. MHF delivers ‘Muscle Dreams’ – we would be very grateful if Editors would ensure this is communicated in our preferred language.


The Muscle Help Foundation – MHF’s Founder & CEO is Michael McGrath (aka Chief Muscle Warrior). He has Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy (LGMD).


Muscle Dreams are once-in-a-lifetime, transformational experiences for children and young people (8-28yrs) in the UK with the muscle-wasting disease Muscular Dystrophy (MD) and allied neuromuscular conditions.


Muscular Dystrophy is the single biggest genetic killer of children in our world today. With 70,000 UK sufferers being robbed of their mobility, independence and finally, for those with the most severe form, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or DMD, their lives, it’s a cruel and unforgiving disease.


Muscle Warriors are both past beneficiaries and their families but also fundraisers who raise much-needed money for the charity in support of its #powerof657 campaign.

<![CDATA[ British Sausage Week Celebrations With A Flexitarian Sausage ]]> https://pressat.co.uk/releases/british-sausage-week-celebrations-with-a-flexitarian-sausage-f718072a6b70ba58c5d6e7f1c2b0f89d/ https://pressat.co.uk/releases/british-sausage-week-celebrations-with-a-flexitarian-sausage-f718072a6b70ba58c5d6e7f1c2b0f89d/ Friday 25 October, 2019

The Gog Farm Shop is celebrating British Sausage week (28th Oct – 3rd Nov) in style this year offering its customers a wide variety of traditional classics, plus favourites including the ‘Gog Toulouse’, ‘Corleone’ Sicilian and Three Herb, that features in their Great Taste award-winning sausage rolls. In addition to these, head butcher Miles has created a Flexitarian sausage.


Paradoxically, with consumers eating slightly less meat, The Gog Butchery is experiencing a significant increase in demand for better quality, well-sourced meat and also leading to the development and launch of their first ‘flexitarian’ sausage. It is a delicious free-range chicken and spinach sausage, with a hint of Moroccan flavours. It’s very low meat content means it offers a perfect alternative for those wishing to have a reduced meat diet.


“I am delighted to be able to create a high-quality product that does not compromise on flavour or quality of ingredients. The reaction has been overwhelming we sold out the first batch in a day”. Miles Nicholas (The Gog Farm Shop Head Butcher)


With one in five consumers identifying as "flexitarian” The Gog wanted to add to its range of vegan products with a flexitarian sausage, offering a high-quality lower meat content sausage packed with flavour.


A pack of Flexitarian sausages retail at £4.95 for a pack of 8
