£500,000 raised and we’re only halfway there! ❤️

Our pubs have now raised an incredible £500k for our Make It A Million campaign and every penny tells a story.

Behind that number are teams giving their time, guests showing their generosity, communities coming together and moments that remind us what our pubs are all about.

We can only share a few of the many amazing stories and photos from our sites, but this milestone belongs to every single person who has helped make it happen. To our teams, guests and communities, thank you. Let’s keep going and Make It A Million! 🙌
