Young Lives vs. Cancer

Jade Costello was a wonderful friend and a valued member of our Gusto Italian family.

Working as our Head of People Jade inspired everyone she met with her incredible zest for life.

Only in her 30’s, Jade was diagnosed with terminal cancer and sadly passed away in June 2022.

During her treatment, Jade met many people who were supported by Young Lives vs cancer.

Jade chose this as our partner charity to donate through the Tim Bacon Foundation.

Jade is greatly missed and in her honour, we continue to support this brilliant cause.

Since we began our partnership in 2022 we’ve run various events and raised a total to date of £100,000.

About Young Lives vs. Cancer

The Tim Bacon Foundation was established in 2017 in memory of Tim Bacon.

Tim was a vibrant and inspiring change-maker for Manchester’s restaurant scene and the co-founder of Gusto Italian alongside his business partner Jeremy Roberts. Following Tim’s passing from cancer in April 2016, Tim Bacon Foundation was set up to ensure his inspiring story was not forgotten and to support charities for people living with Cancer.

We’d like to thank the Tim Bacon Foundation for the work they do to facilitate our fundraising efforts to ensure they go to the intended cause.
