Thank You – What a Community!

Firstly, an enormous thank you to every individual, family, household, business and organisation who have pledged their support to help save our pub.

Thanks to your belief, enthusiasm and generosity, we are thrilled to share that we’ve raised a phenomenal:

  • £80,330 in pledges from individuals in our community and beyond
  • £8,000 from local businesses and organisations

That’s right – over £88,000 in just six weeks. What a truly remarkable achievement. This reflects the passion and determination of our community to bring The Royal Oak into community ownership. We should all be proud!

What’s Happening Next?

As you will recall the target for the pledges was originally £100,000.

So despite not reaching this target from the pledges, the committee sees the potential of still achieving the original plan.

Therefore, discussions are on going between the committee and the owner to see how, with reduced pledge support, we can make this plan a success.

In Summary

  • £88,330 pledges made – a huge success in just 6 weeks!
  • Discussions with the owner are ongoing.
  • We hope to have further news within 2 weeks.

Thank you again for your continued support, energy, and belief. Together, we are showing what a small community with a big heart can achieve.


We need your support!

Pledge Top-Ups

For those of you have already pledged we have an answer to the question some of you have asked, "can I top-up my pledge?".

If this is something you wish to do, please head to the pledge page again and fill in with your details and enter your top up amount in the "Pledge in GBP" box. We can then add this to your original pledge. 

As an example, if your original pledge was for £250, and you want to top-up your total to £400 then make this second pledge for £150.
