The Bevy has always relied on people mucking in. Help at an event, lend a hand in the garden, paint something, fix something or tackle one of those jobs we’ve all been carefully ignoring. An hour here and there can make a real difference – and you don’t need to know one end of a drill from the other.

One of the easiest ways to help is simply to use The Bevy. Have a pint, bring the kids, get some lunch, see some live music or hire the place for a party. A busy pub is a healthy pub, and that puts us in a stronger position for the future. So bring your mates along. It’s hardly the worst way to help.

Buying the building will take more than a whip-round. We’re building a £600,000 funding package through grants, loans, investment and all public support. We want to hear from businesses, trusts, funders and investors who see the value in securing a proven community asset. If you can help, let’s talk.
