The work of Kris Hall and his mental health charity was brought to the fore during the worldwide Covid-19 pandemic. Kris was keen to highlight the plight of stressed chefs and those working in the hospitality trade, raising awareness of the need for employers to take responsibility for their employees’ mental and physical wellbeing.
