Pub is the Hub now operates across all of England and Wales and is grateful for the work and support of the many experienced volunteers who come from across the industry and are involved in the seven regional advisory groups, which have been created to offer local assistance for projects. Volunteers are either from the pub, property and drinks industry, together with licensees, post office representatives, local and national authorities, and trade associations.
There are currently grant programs in a number of areas that can provide both specialist advice and small-scale capital investments to rural pubs in order to help them develop their business for the future. If you have a project in mind, please click your area on the map to find out more details of the support currently available.
