100 years of The Free Trade Inn and the story behind the new swing sign…
The Free Trade Inn pub in Sileby, Leicestershire, has been owned by Everards for 100 years this year and has just completed a refresh, with an investment of £50,000.
Eric Waweru nominated a new project aptly named ‘Man Monday’ for his local community.
Man Monday is a new initiative by the Centre Project targeted at men enabling them to meet and share their experiences and challenges to develop a support network and a sense of purpose, direction and fulfilment.
The project will benefit men, mainly aged between 25-65 years and aims to support 25-30 men
The project will have a lasting effect in the community by helping to address the stigma about men and mental health by providing a platform for them to talk and share openly about mental health issues and will continue to make a difference long after the funding has ended.
The Centre Project is a local charity that has been supporting city residents since 1996. Last year over 5,700 used the service and 70% of whom were men.
