Grants for Community Pubs

Added at 22:11 on 03 January 2021

A new scheme supporting struggling rural pubs is being launched by Leicestershire County Council.

The initiative will see the council offering a one-off payment of £1,000 to support small village pubs which are unable to open their doors over the festive period.

Thought to be the only one of its kind in the country, it is designed to keep people in jobs, maintain the role of the pub as a community hub and help them to diversify by providing extra services for residents.

The scheme is open to pubs which are located in a Leicestershire village and show they provide a vital community role – and we would encourage Members to share this information with pubs which meet the criteria.
