DINNERS THAT DO GOOD
Dust off your best crockery and host a dinner party with a difference this month in aid of charity Plan International UK.
They’d like the cookeryinclined (that’s you) to make the most of their skills and put on a spread to raise money for disadvantaged children around the world. Plan International UK works in particular with girls and young women, helping to challenge gender discrimination, end violence and fight poverty. They’ll provide you with a kit including invites, place names and games to play at the table and get things started – and we can supply the recipe inspiration.
