We have been busy  applying for grants and to date, have secured £28k of ‘set up’ grants to fund surveys, professional advice, organising the Crowdfunder Campaign.

Applications are also currently with The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The Community Ownership Fund.  While their criteria and timescales prevent these from helping us with the actual purchase, we are hopeful that these could help with the more substantive refurbishments and developments of the pub, so we can fully realise our plans as a community hub.  Watch this space!
