StreetSmart is a pioneering dining event raising money for homeless people and returns
to the nation’s restaurants for the ninth time in November and December.
During 
the two months a voluntary £1 per table is added to diners’ bills in participating
restaurants, of which there are more than 550 from Brighton to Edinburgh. Famous
names supporting the campaign include Gordon Ramsay, Antony Worrall Thompson, Fergus
Hdnerson and Giorgio Locatelli and restaurant groups such as Contran, Harvey Nichols
and Claudio Pulze are also taking part, as well as a large number of independent
restaurants.

The event raised £434,000 last year and has notched up more than £2m since its inception.
Administration costs are covered by sponsors Deutsche Bank and Marks & Spencer.

All the homeless projects that receive funds are carefully selected and visited 
by at least one StreetSmart representative. Funding is given for basics such as 
shelter, sustenance and a shower and also to help support people to rebuild their
lives.
