Join us on Tuesday 26 November for FREE PIES in return for donations.  Yes, for one night only we’re giving all our award winning pies and mash for free so that every penny you donate will go straight to the Cattle Drive.

Bristol pie makers, Pieminister, have embarked on a quest to raise £40,000 to kick-start 30 farms in Africa with Bath-based African development charity Send a Cow. The award winning bakers are encouraging pie fans across the country to get involved with its Cattle Drive this autumn.

So rustle up some mates and head to the locations below for a fundraising feast (come early to avoid a stampede…..)

  • Pieminister, 91 Leather Lane, London, EC1N 7TS (6pm to 9pm)

Notes to Editors

Pieminister

Pieminister is a family business based in Bristol where it makes all its pies in-house.  Pieminister insists on using fine quality ingredients including 100% free range British meat and MSC-certified fish.  All its vegetarian pies are Vegetarian Society Approved.  Pieminister currently holds awards from Compassion in World Farming for its use of free range chicken and eggs and is the only leading pie company to only use free range British meat.  Pieminister’s felt cows featured on every pie box as part of this campaign are sourced from Hardy & Hanson, in West Yorkshire.

Send a Cow

70% of rural Africans rely on their land to provide food and income. Yet 1 in 3 regularly goes without food.

Pieminister’s £40,000 fundraising target could see 32 rural families through the charity’s five year programme helping them to grow enough food to eat, surplus to sell and develop sustainable businesses.

Around 224 people could see the direct effects. Children will be educated, homes improved, families will live more harmoniously and a chain of ‘passing on’ and sharing will unravel helping communities to grow closer.

 

According to its recent study of beneficiaries in Kenya, Send a Cow has helped 100% to earn enough to jump over the poverty line; 97% are eating 2-3 meals a day; and the number of young adults attaining university education is 7 times higher than the national average in Kenya.

Send a Cow works in Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Rwanda, Burundi, Zambia and Lesotho.
