Support Us

There are lots of ways to support your local.

The Bevy has always worked because people get stuck in. Some come in for a pint every week. Some volunteer, donate or become shareholders. Some bring their mates or simply tell someone else what we’re up to. And, conveniently, having a good time in the pub counts too.

However you do it, you’re helping keep The Bevy busy, profitable and doing what it does best. There’s no single way to support a community pub. Turning up is a pretty good place to start.

Help Us Crowdfund £100,000.

We’re crowdfunding to raise the first £100,000 towards buying The Bevy’s building and securing its future in community hands. The important bit: The Bevy isn’t a failing pub asking to be saved. It’s busy, profitable and welcomes more than 800 people through its doors every month. We own the pub, but not the building. Now we have until 1 October 2027 to change that.

Every donation, big or small, brings us closer and reduces how much we need to borrow. Is £100,000 ambitious? Of course it is. But so was reopening a boarded-up pub in the first place, and look how that turned out.

Become a shareholder.

Fancy owning a little bit of your local? For £10 a year, you can become a community shareholder in The Bevy and have a vote on important decisions at our Annual General Meeting.

You don’t get free beer or a corner office, sadly. What you do get is a say in a pub owned by the people who use it, and another way to keep The Bevy doing things differently. Download the share purchase form, then return it to the pub or send it by email it to contact@thebevy.co.uk.

Ways to get stuck in

Give A Little Time

Volunteer

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.

Volunteer

Use The Bevy

Come on in

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.

What's on

Fund The Future

Invest

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.

Help us own The Bevy

There’s one particularly big job on the list at the moment. We own the pub, but not the building. We have until 1 October 2027 to change that, and our first goal is to raise £100,000 from people who believe places like The Bevy matter.

Whether it’s £5, £50 or something bigger, every donation gets us closer. The Bevy was built by lots of people doing what they could, rather than one person doing the lot. This bit will be no different.

How can you help?

SUPPORT THE BEVY

The Bevy is a Community Benefit Society, which means the money we make goes straight back into the pub and the local community. No shareholders getting rich, no profits disappearing elsewhere. Just good things happening for good people, thanks to everyone who mucks in. Now we’re crowdfunding to buy the building and keep The Bevy in community hands for good. Every pound helps.
