About Men's Pie Club
Men’s Pie Club (MPC) uses food to enhance peoples’ lives, creating a social community that supports men experiencing poor mental health as a result of low or poor quality social connections. We target socially isolated men aged between 19 - 65 through the delivery of weekly pie clubs. One of our key strengths is our approach to using food, making pies from scratch, as the vehicle for increasing social connectedness.
What skills do I need?
Men's Pie Club asks that you are respectful and welcoming to members from all walks of life, and feel that you could encourage a positive environment among others in the group.
You do not need to be a skilled cook. We simply ask that you have an interest in food.
If you some experience of leading a group or others, then this would be beneficial.
We would ask that you undertake some basic training, to best prepare you for your new role as a Pie Club Leader.
