Celebrating 10 Years of Hope

At UYARE Leeds, every story begins with community — with people, purpose, and a passion to make a difference.

This year, we celebrated something truly close to our hearts: 10 Years of Hope, marking a decade of giving through our annual charity lunch in support of Hope Community Village in Kerala. 💚

Our journey with Hope began even before Tharavadu Leeds opened its doors. Back in 2014, when Tharavadu was still an idea filled with dreams, we made a promise —

“Our first day’s sales will go to a cause that changes lives.”

That promise became a tradition. Since 2015, we’ve hosted an annual charity lunch in Leeds, where every penny raised is donated to Hope — an organisation that gives orphaned and destitute children a loving home, an education, and a real sense of family.

Even more inspiring, our team volunteers their own time each year to make this event happen. It’s one afternoon where service, smiles, and compassion come together — reminding us why we do what we do.

✨ Uyare & Tharavadu Unite for a Beautiful Cause

This year’s event was extra special — not just because it marked a decade of giving, but because Uyare and Tharavadu joined hands for the first time to host the event together.

Guests gathered at Uyare for an afternoon filled with warmth, laughter, and Kerala flavours that spoke straight from the heart. There was food, friendship, and even a touch of creativity — some guests turned their empty plates into colourful works of art inspired by our wall murals! 🎨🍽

And then came the moment that made it all worth it —

💚 Together, we raised £5,700 — the highest total ever collected at a single Hope charity lunch!

Each smile, donation, and shared story became part of something greater: a bridge between Leeds and Kerala built on kindness and compassion.

💖 Giving Back Where We Belong

As a family of restaurants deeply rooted in both Leeds and Kerala, giving back is at the heart of who we are.

Beyond fundraising events, we are proud to support five children at Hope Community Village, taking care of their education, health, and wellbeing. We’ve watched them grow over the years — each milestone reminding us that success is not measured by numbers, but by the lives we touch.

“To serve food that feeds hearts as well as stomachs — that’s our true purpose.”

🌞 A Legacy That Grows Stronger Every Year

Ten years later, this annual event is more than a charity lunch — it’s a legacy. A symbol of what’s possible when people come together for something bigger than themselves.

From all of us at Uyare and Tharavadu Leeds, we want to say a heartfelt thank you — to everyone who joined, supported, donated, or simply shared our story. You’ve helped us make a real difference, and together, we’ve written one of the most beautiful chapters of our journey so far.

Here’s to the next decade of hope, love, and giving back. 🌿✨

At the heart of every meal we serve, there’s a story of togetherness — and Hope is our most meaningful one yet. 💫
