UK Government funding to save pubs for communities

Local News 5 Jul 2023

Pubs in Wales will receive a total of £694,250 from the UK Government’s Community Ownership Fund to allow them to stay open and serve the needs of local people.

It comes as the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities announces the latest allocations from the second round of the £150 million Community Ownership Fund.

The money will allow locals to restore the pubs so they can benefit their communities and attract visitors.

By taking ownership of local institutions that have fallen into states of disrepair or under threat of closure and give them a new lease of life, this will ensure the venues continue to provide vital services and boost local economies.

The amount of funding that can be bid for has increased from £250,000 to £1 million.
