Running with Purpose
The teams at Seven Restaurant & Café Bar and The White Hart in Duffield were proud to announce their participation in the 2025 Derby Ramathon, uniting staff from both venues with a shared purpose: to raise vital funds and awareness for YMCA Derbyshire. They said,
“We believe meaningful change begins right here, in our local community. That’s why we’re committed to raising awareness and vital funds to support young people and their families when they need it most. Every step we take is a step toward hope, stability, and a brighter future for those facing difficult times.
It’s a mission that resonates deeply with us. As hospitality professionals, we believe in the power of care and connection – values that extend far beyond our restaurants. This run is our way of giving back, step by step, mile by mile”.
From Kitchens to Kilometres
Whether it’s behind the bar, in the kitchen, or on the restaurant floor, the team are used to working as a team. Now, we’re bringing that same energy to the streets of Derby. The Ramathon is no small feat, but with our shared determination and a cause this important, we’re ready for the challenge.
“We’re not just running for fitness or fun (though there’ll be plenty of both) — we’re running for change. For every young person who needs a roof over their head, someone to believe in them, or simply a second chance”.
