With only a few weeks left to vote for your local good cause groups, hear from a previous winner and what the funding means to them 🤝
Men's Pie Club won £5,000 through the Member Choice Award in the Lakes & Dales region. The clubs run across Northumberland, Durham and North Tyneside creating relaxed, no-pressure spaces for men who may be isolated, lonely, or simply in need of a regular place to belong. There’s no fixing, no lectures, and no expectation beyond showing up — everything else happens naturally around the table.
Chris Smith, Programme Manager at Men’s Pie Club, said: “We are over the moon to win the Member Choice Award. The money will make a big difference and will allow us to get new clubs up and running. We are hoping to start a new pie club in Stanhope and potentially also Newbiggin. I’d really encourage other community groups to put themselves forward too — it’s a brilliant initiative that genuinely helps grassroots projects get going.”
