Support for community pubs

The Department for Communities and Local Government is funding the Plunkett Foundation to deliver help to the growing number of communities across England at risk of losing their local pub, who want to set it up as a co-operative. Already operating a specialist advice line for co-operative pubs, the Plunkett Foundation will now be able to include specialist advice, funded study visits, mentoring support and peer-to-peer learning. Communities will have until 31 March to apply for this support.
