Thank you for completing the online or paper survey and telling us what you want from the pub. Here we bring you some of the highlights and an update on pledges – so far we have had 166 pledges from individuals amounting to £110,850.
Highlights from the survey
138 people responded to the online and paper questionnaire.
98% said they or a household member would use the pub if it was community owned.
88% said that they would consider investing in or making a donation to the pub.
Are there any community services you would like to see on offer at the pub? For example, social clubs, somewhere to pick up packages, café, shop etc. When and how would you like these services to be part of the pub’s offering?
Thank you so much to all that could make it to the public meeting
yesterday. For those that couldn’t make the meeting, we are pleased to share
the slides and a video of the presentation with you.
There were some fantastic ideas
about how we can put the pub back at the heart of the community and so far we
already have 112 pledges totalling £83,800. It’s a great start, we still have a
long way to go but we are sure we can do this!
The White House has enormous
potential and could be a social hub for the village offering a whole host of
services.
We
ask those of you that haven’t already done so to give us you input on what you
would like to see from our pub and a non-binding indication of investment.
Shares will cost £50 with a minimum purchase of £250. We
are also looking at group share offers, so even if you cannot invest £250
please put down what you could.
Our soft-pledge has now closed and has been replaced by our formal share offer. For full details of the share offering and to invest or donate, follow the links below.
