The Dan Kay Foundation strives to make a difference to people's lives by focusing on mental health training, food poverty and youth organisations. It's the perfect example of a community group which could be nominated for the Pride of Britain Fund.
Local heroes could land up to £2,500 to help them boost their communities, thanks to a new fund set up to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards. Grants of £2,500, £1,000 and £500 are all available as part of the Pride of Britain Fund’s £100,000 giveaway for good causes, and you can nominate the people or groups who you think should receive it.
One of the things that stuck with me was when one of the charities we partnered with called to us to say ‘we’ve got a bit of a problem’ because they used the money we raised through our first memorial football match to provide fruit and veg boxes and supermarket vouchers to families on Christmas Eve, but they had no one to deliver them because it was always Dan who did it. So we stepped in on Christmas Eve to help low income families in Liverpool by delivering these packages.
