A popular Leeds restaurant has raised more than £1250 for a charity helping Christians in need.
The Turkuaz Restaurant, in Rawdon, hosted a Turkish breakfast on Sunday, October 15 inviting the community to come together and raise money for Christians In Crisis. With nearly 100 people in attendance, the restaurant raised £250 from donations. Trinity Church, in Rawdon, donated a further £1000. Matthew Chew, manager at The Turkuaz Restaurant, said it was “brilliant” to see the number of people come together, many of whom were from different backgrounds.
I was playing away on the piano and I saw in the background just a really good, strong sense of community. “There were just a lot of smiles and it was just beautiful to see everyone working together. It was like winding back the clock 50 or 60 years. It was quite moving and quite powerful.” As part of the Turkish breakfast, the restaurant served börek, a pastry filled with cheese and vegetables. Neighbouring business Croissant D'Or donated pastries for the event too.
