The public house has always been a great British institution, the heart and soul of our nation, it is a place where everyone is welcome. Punch promises to create hubs of the community that are the crossroads of connection (well-being, community cohesion, community services).

 

Community Engagement: Partner with charities and educational institutions to provide coaching, mentoring, and work placement support in local schools with specific mentoring for students nationally in areas of social deprivation.

 

Industry Partnerships: Encourage our Publicans to consider the role their pub businesses can play in the local community. We partner with Pub is the Hub which inspires Publicans and local communities to work together to support, retain and locate services within the pub as well as

PubAid, a working party dedicated to promoting pubs as a force for good in their local communities.

 

Diversification: Deployment of the right service offer within our pubs to help provide a wider community service, i.e. hosting the post office or shop, for local clubs and societies.
