Plate it Forward

Plate It Forward, a hospitality group comprised of three restaurants—Colombo Social, Kyiv Social, and Kabul Social—along with a catering and events business, operates on foundational pillars that extend beyond mere food provision: Food Security, Training & Education, Employment, and Connection. By crafting meal donation programs that convert potential food waste into nourishment for the vulnerable and creating employment pathways that offer a lifeline to those most in need, Plate It Forward integrates these values into its culinary ventures. Shaun Christie-David’s endeavors, along with the organisation’s operations, have garnered widespread recognition, including several prestigious awards that underscore their significant contribution to the hospitality industry and the local community. Shaun and the team at Plate It Forward extend an open invitation to the public to engage with their mission of transformative change. Whether through experiencing the hospitality at their flagship restaurants Colombo Social and Kyiv Social, participating in the Plate Up Together team-building events, or supporting their community initiatives, individuals have the opportunity to contribute to a movement that transcends the culinary realm. It is through these interactions that Plate It Forward aims to demonstrate how every meal, job, and moment of connection can be a catalyst for positive change.
