The latest information on our campaign
April 2025 – Current Situation
It has been a busy month or so for us as we begin to really pull together our campaign. Highlights include:
- We’ve joined Plunkett UK. Plunkett is a national charity that specializes in helping community groups exactly like ours achieve great things.
- In a few weeks’ time we’ll officially be The Lamb Inn Community Benefit Society…
- This is the key step to being legally able to fund-raise to acquire the pub
- We’ve started raise money for legal fees, publicity, professional services etc. – our Fighting Fund! Contact Us if you can help.
- The big plan, which we are on-target for, is to have The Lamb Inn kept-safe and in Community ownership this year.
Another fantastic fundraising event, at The Lamb Inn, for Keep The Lamb Inn: the Curry Night was a huge success. £1032 raised for our fighting fund, which will go towards campaign expenses, legal fees, professional services and so-on.
Huge thanks to our curry chefs, Pat, Tim, Charlie, Penny, Di and Anne, and our after-dinner entertainment from Charlie, Pat and Stu!
Curry Night A Delicious Success!
