Awesome Bakers nomination

Manchester’s LGBT Village Bakers Nominated as a 2015 ‘Awesome Network’

Popular LGBT social group Village Bakers have been nominated for newly Inclusive Networks as an ‘Awesome Network’, part of the Inclusive Networks 2015 awards to help celebrate all that is good about LGBT networks.

The Village bakers are an LGBT social group with the aim to Bake it! Bring it! Share it! Within Manchester’s Gay Village. Inspired by the Great British Bake Off, the Village Bakers was formed in November 2012 by a group of friends meeting and sharing homemade cake and lots of glasses of wine. Since then, the group has grown in popularity with over 500 followers on Facebook & Twitter.

Kevin Sargent Chair of Village Bakers: "Village Bakers are extremely proud to have been recognised as an Awesome Network. Our philosophy is to be an all inclusive social group at the heart of the LGBT Community with a simple belief that there is no better way to make friends then sharing a big slice of cake."

Inclusive Netwroks Awesome Network Awards are about showing what LGBT groups have achieved in 2014, something special or a highlight that makes them stand out. This helps to create a more inclusive society where diversity is being celebrated and members feel fully part and taking an active role within the group/network.

Thomas Anderson, Inclusive Networks Founder and Chief Executive, quotes: “The diversity of the nominations received in our first Awesome Network list is a celebration of the many authentic networks around the UK that have each made their mark and have a real positive impact on those people who engage with them, and in many cases, the communities where they operate. From the nominations received, it's clear that Village Bakers are offering unique networking opportunities where everyone is welcome. The group of dedicated volunteers are going the extra mile to support many charities and community groups too - something that should be applauded. What a great combination a G&T, slice of cake and plenty of friendly faces is!"
