NDML partners with The Drinks Trust
We are very happy to announce our partnership with The Drinks Trust, the drinks industry’s charitable organisation. The Drinks Trust share many values of our own; offering services such as wellbeing, financial support and professional advice. Post-pandemic and over the COVID crisis, The Drinks Trust provided unprecedented support to individuals, and like ourselves, stood out as a leading voice for the industry.
The Drinks Trust are globally recognised, receiving donations and providing their services to members all over the world. Their main support group are workers on zero hours contracts in bars and clubs, helping them survive the cost of living crisis with financial grants. But they also provide training course to graduate and those wanting to enter the sector, as well as wellbeing support and therapeutic support completely free.
NDML have seen the good work The Drink Trust have done and all they have achieved post-pandemic. We recognise the importance of their surveys, helping to understand the diverse nature of our industry and what more needs to be done to evolve it.
We feel that by partnering with The Drinks Trust, we increase our avenues for supporting the hospitality and nightlife community. Not only that, but we also felt the partnership was a natural fit due to our sister company We Are Wellbeing, the corporate wellbeing provider, sharing knowledge on how best to further benefit hospitality businesses.
