Background Information

Community Pubs Foundation

The Community Pubs Foundation is a new organisation set up with the aim to:
Prevent the loss of, or inappropriate alterations to, a public house of community, architectural or historical importance.
Improve the viability of a public house through the provision of community facilities.
Protect the future of a public house through community ownership.

The Foundation will provide advice and small grants to local groups seeking to prevent the loss of their local pub.

The Foundation has produced an action pack to help people campaigning to save their local pub.
If you would like to order an action pack please phone (01727) 867201 or email communitypubs@camra.org.uk.

This is a seriously important and welcome endeavour. Any initiative that helps a community keep its local pub open has my immediate support. Bill Bryson (Travel Writer)
