APPLYING FOR A GRANT?

In recent years we have seen a large number of gaming venues changing ownership and due to Pub Charity’s policy to return grant funds to benefit host communities any change can impact on the amount of grant funds available in your area. We do update our website immediately on gaining or losing a venue and I strongly advise you take advantage of the feature that indicates the level of Pub Charity funding available in your area before you consider applying.
