Hodge Events is the project lead for our expedition up Mt Kilimanjaro this October, working alongside and in conjunction with the Andy Reid MBE - Standing Tall Foundation ๐ค
As well as heading up to the summit with triple amputee and war hero, Andy Reid MBE, we will also be attempting to break a genuine Guinness World Record ๐ค๐ฝ

Given the nature of the record attempt, seemed a no brainer to reach out to รber Eats to work with on this, and I can proudly announce, that as of today, we here at Hodge Events have managed to secure a sponsorship deal with รber Eats UK ๐๐ฝ๐๐๐น๐ฟ

Both myself and Bob had a phone call the other week to chat about the current crisis over in Ukraine, and we wanted to know what we could do to help? ๐ค
Given Bobsโ status as an International Rugby League Legend, and that we have wanted to work on something together for a while now! ๐๐ฅ
We have decided we will be putting on a corporate fundraiser, to help raise as much money as we can to fund for supplies and support to those families that are struggling right now, over in Ukraine ๐๐ฝ
We have partnered up with The Floating Grace, Liverpoolโs first ever floating bar and restaurant, based on the Alberts Docks; putting on a Summer sunset meal, sportsmanโs dinner and cruise around Liverpool โ๏ธ๐

Social Media would have you believing:
* Everyone is a millionaire
* Everyone is a travel aficionado
* Everyone has founded multiple successful businesses
* Everyone is wealthy from crypto
* Everyone has amazing work-life balance
* Everyone has 8 self-help books on the go
It would also have you believing that you are falling behind if youโre not doing the same.
This is your healthy reminder that social media is not real life. And that you are doing just fine.
Merry Christmas Everybody ๐

5 Steps to Mental Well-being ๐ช๐ฝ๐ง
I adhere to these 5 steps on a daily basis, and surprisingly theyโre not that hard to do ๐
Connect: talk & listen to someone, a problem shared is a problem halved ๐ฌ
Be Active: Donโt have to run a marathon, do what you can and enjoy what you do. Healthy Body = Healthy Mind ๐ช๐ฝ
Take Notice: Stop, think! The little things in life are always the best and the issues you perceive as โbigโ probably arenโt ๐ญ
Keep Learning: Leave your comfort zone, it may surprise you ๐
Give: It may only be your time, but by giving it, you may not only help yourself, but someone else also ๐๐ฝ

As some of you may know Sarah lost her ex partner, Colin to mental health earlier this year; after finding his body. A traumatic experience for anybody, Iโm sure you would agree ๐
Hodge Events have teamed up with Sarah to put on a Festive Fun Run this December (12/12/21) to help raise money for local mental health; not through a charity or CIC but through every single penny donated that we manage to raise ๐

So there has been a few comments come to light with regards to ourselves and the 66 American Steakhouse closing itโs doors this past week.
Firstly, we would like to say that the steakhouse, was its own separate organisation and Hodge Events hold absolutely no responsibility to how they do/did business. We simply got asked to put on an event for them.
They had been operating for 4-5months before they made contact with ourselves and we decided to put a Re-Launch Night on for them with the sole purpose to help a struggling independent business within St Helens raise some revenue off the back of opening during the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Hodge Events competed this objective by marketing & promoting the relaunch night, providing special guests, singers and entertainment for the evening. We sold out the venue for the night and gave the otherwise struggling restaurant itโs highest takings since it had been open, and we would like to re-thank everyone who helped us to make the event a success.
We are very sad to hear the news that 66 American Steakhouse has elected to close its doors as we personally seen a lot of potential for the venue in 2022 and beyond. We would like to wish Kane, and all the staff the very best of luck for the future, and we kindly ask that people please reach out to us for the facts, before posting incorrect information on social media.
Thanks

A day to take our hats off for all the men & women that sacrificed their lives for our freedom!
Side note: Itโs been a pleasure to have worked with Andy Reid MBE on so many occasions, knowing we are doing our bit for the veterans of today through his foundation; made more prevalent on this day ๐๐ฝ
