Past Fundraising Galvin’s Chance is only able to operate thanks to the generous and imaginative ideas of our supporters. Here are just a few of the ways we generate the funds needed to help young people through Galvin’s Chance.
The Mince Pie Project In an online 72-hour auction from midday on Tuesday, 11th December to midday on Friday, 14th December, 2012, mince pies helped raise nearly £30,000 in support of Galvin’s Chance, as well as for the homeless charity Crisis. Galvin’s Chance was selected as one the beneficiaries for this year’s proceeds from the second annual The Mince Pie Project. 100 of the UK’s greatest chefs with almost 60 Michelin stars between them, including Chefs Michel Roux Jr, Raymond Blanc and Marcus Wareing amongst others, participated in this year’s project. Each chef made a unique batch of 50 mince pies which were sold in the online auction. Dan Doherty, head chef at Duck and Waffle atop London’s Heron Tower, made gingerbread mince pies with a cream cheese orange frosting for the charity auction. Toping the list, his pies sold for a whooping £1,900 contributing to the overall total of £29,147.20. Other recipes included cherries, almonds, cognac and a secret, melt-in-your-mouth pastry recipe from André Garrett, Executive Chef of Galvin at Windows atop London Hilton on Park Lane; spiced, candied organic winter fruit, spiked with money-can’t-buy 1966 Invergordon Highland whisky from Andrew Fairlie from Restaurant Andrew Fairlie Click here for an exclusive look and your own try at a masterchef recipe from Chef Francesco Mazzei of L’Anima Restaurant. His ‘M’Pigliati’ recipe draws on his Italian roots with figs, apricots, pistachios, walnuts and mosto cotto.
