Mens Pie Club - Life is not always easy, but making pies is. Getting together for a pie and a chat is the perfect way for us guys to get out of the house and look after our physical and mental health.If we were using fancy terms, we'd say it's about tackling isolation and improving social connectedness. And it is, but it's also just about baking pies and making friends. So if you're a dad/male carer who lives alone, feels alone, or just needs an excuse to get out more why not come along. There's no stress and no pressure. Just a bit of cooking. | Thursday | 1.00pm to 3.00pm |
