To support the Lady Mayor’s efforts to raise £440,000 for the Army Benevolent Fund, RAF Benevolent Fund and Royal Navy & Royal Marines Charity, 14 FANYs turned out to support the Big Curry Lunch.
The Lady Mayor's Big Curry Lunch brought together over 1,650 leaders and decision makers from across all sectors of the City of London and beyond. The Lunch was hosted by the Lady Mayor and Lady Mayor's Consort who welcomed the Duke of Gloucester as the Royal Guest of Honour. Since the inception of the Lunch in 2008, the event has distributed over £4.2 million to support the veterans of His Majesty's Armed Forces.
FANYs started checking volunteers in from 0600 as well as running a FANY information stand, and raised vital funds by selling champagne, beer and cocktails throughout the Guildhall. Once everyone had been fed and watered, FANYs enjoyed their own curry lunch and a drink – cheers to a good cause!
