Gaucho is part of Rare Restaurants who are proud to have supported and raised over £1m for charitable causes over the last five years. We support the following charities, who align with the three main aspects of our impact vision and values:
Supporting the disadvantaged
We believe that everyone should have chances in life to develop and grow. We work with charities that strive to create opportunities for people who would otherwise lack them.
Employee involvement and awareness
We encourage our employees to give back to their community, through volunteering programmes or by undertaking fundraising events within the business.
Providing employment opportunities
We are proud of the hospitality sector and believe it offers people the chance to learn a wide range of useful skills, and so we actively seek opportunities to give people a helping hand into the workplace.
Only a Pavement Away
A charity founded by representatives from the hospitality industry who believe that everyone deserves the chance to find and forge a career. Our aim is to act as a conduit to employment to help those people struggling to get into work, overcome hurdles by finding jobs within the hospitality, pub and restaurant industry, whilst negating the need for people to face an existence of living on the streets.
