May 2022 saw the first ever ALH Great Parma Debate, a competition amongst our venues to come up with their best rendition of the classic pub favourite.
ALH Hotels is proud to announce that we raised over $138,000 at the 2022 Very Special Kids 24 Hour Treadmill Challenge. Very Special Kids (VSK) provides specialist palliative care for children and young people with life-limiting conditions and support for their families. It is a charity close to our hearts, and we are proud to support the organisation.
In support of The Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal, the ALH Group’s ‘Parma Week’ has returned to Victorian venues. From the 8th to the 14th of April, $2 from every chicken parma sold, will go to the Good Friday Appeal in our 14th year of support for the cause.

We are so proud to announce that our inspired team throughout Queensland has done a fantastic job in raising funds for Project Pink, part of the PA Research Foundation, in the fight against breast cancer.
Spearheaded by QLD Operations Manager Sally Lee, Queensland venues raised over $345,000 in only three months from May to July 2021. We were completely blown away when the cheque was presented, and couldn’t be more proud of each person involved. This impressive figure contributed to exceeding the milestone $3,000,000 total raised by ALH Queensland.
For over 30 years, PA Research Foundation has been supporting research into finding solutions to deadly and debilitating diseases, with Project Pink as their campaign to fight breast cancer. Every dollar raised for this worthy cause supports ground-breaking research projects focused on improving treatments and diagnostics for those faced with breast cancer.
We’re thrilled to share this news, and look forward to continuing to raise funds for this and other projects.
SA VENUES RAISE OVER $24K FOR CAMP QUALITY
Though 2020 was a difficult year to navigate, one thing ALH Group’s SA venues did not lose sight of was raising funds for a great cause. Camp Quality is an organisation that provides support and activities for kids facing cancer, to let them be kids again. Despite a global pandemic, 33 SA venues raised over $24,500 last year. Well done, team.
Geared up for another great year, the goal for 2021 is to reach over $50,000 through fundraising activities such as sausage sizzles, gold coin donations and shaking tins for spare change.
Julia Sinclair, ALH Community Program Coordinator said, “We are pleased to know the funds will be going towards local camps in 2021 as many were cancelled last year. Knowing that we are putting a smile on the face of brave children facing cancer and their families makes us feel honoured to help.”
Look forward to seeing what 2021 brings for this wonderful organisation helping children who need it most.
