Reacting to pubs being funded through the Levelling Up Community Ownership Fund, Emma McClarkin, Chief Executive of the British Beer and Pub Association said:
“With pubs in the news again this Christmas, highlighting once again the vital role they play in bringing communities together and particularly those on their own at this time of year, the funding announcements for 8 community pubs through the Levelling Up fund is very welcome. This will enable these pubs to continue to remain at the heart of their communities. We would also urge Government to provide further funding support to Pub Is The Hub, an incredible organisation, that provides funding for local pubs to enable then to diversify and offer additional community services and amenities. ”
