Club Mexicana is at it again and this time it’s not just about fabulous vegan food. It’s about solidarity.
In the lead up to Trans+ Pride London, Club Mexicana is using its incredibly delicious platform to shine a spotlight on MindOut, a mental health charity run by and for LGBTQ people.
Read more below.
MindOut is one of those organisations that holds people up when they’re struggling. They work specifically with LGBTQ communities to offer mental health support, guidance, and a non-judgemental space for people who need it. This is not a little thing. It is a massive, life-saving thing.
So what is Club Mexicana doing? Every bill at their Soho restaurant now comes with a MindOut info card. There’s no tip added or guilt tripping, just a simple invitation to learn, to support, and to care.
This isn’t performative nonsense or corporate rainbow washing. It’s a vegan business using its resources to help where it’s needed most. It’s showing up. It’s making a choice to centre those who are so often pushed to the margins.
So next time you’re getting stuck into a vegan to-fish taco or devouring the loaded nachos, take a moment to read that card. Share it. Act on it. Tell your friends. Post it on your socials.
Club Mexicana, thank you for reminding us that we can all do more.
Now go eat a burrito and support a charity. You can do both!
