❄️💛 HELP US SPREAD A LITTLE WARMTH THIS WINTER! 💛❄️

This winter, we’re proud to be supporting the Winter Warmth Campaign, in partnership with Only A Pavement Away, helping those experiencing homelessness stay warm during the colder months. ❤️

🧥 WE NEED YOUR HELP! 🧤

We’re collecting donations of:

👕 Spare clothing 🧥 Coats & jackets 🧣 Hats, scarves & winter essentials 🧴 Toiletries & personal hygiene products

📍 TWO LOCAL DROP-OFF POINTS IN YORK!

You can drop off your donations at either of our pubs:

🍺 The Nags Head – Micklegate, York

🍺 The Roman Bath – St Sampson’s Square, York

Simply pop in with your donations by November 23rd and our team will be happy to help

💛 Something you no longer need could make a world of difference to someone else.

Whether it’s an old winter coat, a spare jumper or a few essential toiletries, every donation counts.

Let’s show what the people of York can do when we come together to help those who need it most! 🙌

£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! 🙌
