Help young people from refugee and migrant backgrounds get started in the hospitality industry.
Scarf – the social initiative providing hospitality training to young refugees and asylum seekers – will be holding sit-down dinners at Bhang Brunswick over the next few months.
For $45 a head you can enjoy a two-course set menu of Indian cuisine.
The proceeds will enable eight young people to participate in Scarf’s mentoring, training and paid work-experience program. The program hopes to give participants the confidence, knowledge and skills to find employment in the hospitality industry.
Of 181 graduates from the program since it began in 2010, 70 per cent of its graduates have successfully found work in places such as Garden State Hotel, Top Paddock, The Sofitel and Two Birds brewing.
If you can’t attend but would like to support Scarf you can donate directly to the program via its website.

Winter Scarf Dinners run on Tuesday nights from July 10 to August 28 at Bhang restaurant, 1/2A Mitchell Street, Brunswick
