Donated to The Archie Foundation

Through the highly successful Signature Food Festival held annually at The Chester Hotel, owners Gillian and Graham Wood have raised over one and a half million pounds for local children's charities since it's inception.

Gifting large sums of money to The Archie Foundation targeting specifically The Neo Natal Unit and The Neurology Ward at The Royal Aberdeen Children's Hospital from monies raised at The Signature Food Festival, Gillian and Graham set up The JEllie Foundation to formalise this charitable giving and to expand their fundraising efforts through new events and concepts.

The JEllie Foundation is the channel to organise future Signature Food Festival events and to create new and exciting concepts which will support local children and young people for many years to come.
