How You Can Help
The refusal of the planning application is an important step on our road to saving The Bell Inn, but there is a lot of work ahead.
STBIG are working on a number of key next actions and if you have skills that you think would be useful or just want to get more involved then please get in touch.
Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram for updates and remember to like and share, we love seeing real community support rather than the inevitable naysayers who seem to be always lurking.
We will be in touch soon with a date for another village meeting where we will share our plans for community ownership, what that means for you and how you can help.
Please Donate to our GoFundMe Campaign
To-date the campaign has been self-funded by STBIG volunteers, however as we try to set up negotiations with the owner and before we can formally set up a community benefit society to raise funds to purchase the pub, we recognise that we do need to raise a modest 'fighting' fund to cover anticipated costs such as:
Independent property valuation
Legal costs in setting up the community benefit society
Creation of a community share offer prospectus
