Community Pub Initiative

ASHENDON HAS SAVED ITS CHERISHED PUB!

A huge thank you to all our Members and supporters. Ashendon Community Pub Society has a website dedicated to how we have saved the Ashendon pub and are bringing it back to life. Learn about our progress and keep up with the news at AshendonCPS.com

Our Urgent Fundraising Efforts Continue

While we surpassed the minimum target to save the pub, we remain at least £50,000 short of our optimum target. We continue to fundraise to undertake a kitchen refit and to reopen the bedrooms, among other work. We welcome your support through various avenues including:

Welcoming donations
Exploring sponsorship opportunities – e.g. pub sign.
Pursuing further grants to support refurbishments
Hosting fundraising events
Offers of work contributions from registered trades
Opening a waiting list for future share purchases during a designated 'Share Purchase Window'

Are you interested in any of the above? Amazing! Email us at [email protected] or call or text Sue on 07908 686886.
