Big news from Prezzo Italian ❤️

We’re incredibly proud to announce our new partnership with @bbccin

From today, every visit to Prezzo Italian can help make a difference to children, families and communities across the UK. Because alongside great food and bringing people together around the table, we now have the opportunity to help support projects creating brighter futures for young people who need it most.

To help support BBC Children In Need, we’ve added a special item to our menu - the £1 Pudsey Pasta. It’s not a real dish, but a simple way to make a real difference.

Just add the £1 Pudsey Pasta to your bill when dining with us and your donation will help fund safe spaces, vital support services and brighter opportunities for children and young people across the UK. 🍝💛

So, whether you’re joining us for pizza night, family dinner or a catch-up with friends, you can now Eat Well and Do Good all in one visit.

More exciting fundraising moments (and some very special Pudsey fun 👀) coming soon.

We’re proud to be partnering with @TheChildrensSociety this May for Mental Health Awareness Month 🌱

Together, we’re working to help adults and children start important conversations about feelings, worries and wellbeing.

One of the tools at the heart of this is the Gingerbread Person. 💛 It’s a simple, creative activity that gives children space to express what’s going on inside - whether that’s through drawing, colouring or talking - making difficult conversations feel easier and safer to start.

This May, we’re encouraging parents, carers and trusted adults to give it a try with a child in their life.

👉 Visit our Mental Health Hub to explore the Gingerbread Person resource and discover more ways to support children’s emotional wellbeing.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we're asking adults to check in with the children in their lives, making sure they feel safe and comfortable to share their thoughts and feelings when it matters most.

We’re also providing £1.24 million in funding for mental health support, enabling specialists and organisations to step in early and offer help to young people, preventing later struggles. This is alongside the £40 million we’ve already invested in over 700 projects across the UK supporting children’s mental health.
