Milestone Moment!
We’re proud to announce that Pig Pals, a men’s mental health initiative by Obsessive Recessive Roots CIC, is the 100th recipient of our Community Action Grant!

Pig Pals is an outdoor-based programme where participants care for pigs through feeding, brushing, and nurturing, while also engaging in land-based tasks to improve the site.

“It’s already having such a positive impact, and we’re excited to see how it will continue to grow.” – Shay Tipler, Pig Pals Leader

Cllr Lee Hartshorne was on hand to present the £495.19 grant, which will fund tools and equipment for sessions with Graft & Gab men’s mental health groups.

Did you know? Since 2020, our Community Action Grants have supported 100 local projects with nearly £50,000, from sports clubs to eco schools and tree planting🌳.
