Newsflash – Government Grant Obtained

We are over the moon and delighted to able to announce we have been awarded and secured the money requested (£276k) from the Community Ownership Fund to help Save The Chequers in Roxwell.

This is an amazing achievement for all the community, those who pledged money over the summer and those businesses who offered letters of support for our application to the government. This means we are in a position to execute plans to buy and refurbish the pub and the next phase of the project will swing into action to realise our dream.

This has only been made possible by you all.

With a view to the immediate future, we will be launching the formal share offer on the pledges you made in late January. We will be in touch when this happens so you don’t have to “do” anything yet.

But on this very special day, we want to say a massive thank you to our brilliant community, to our pledgers, to the businesses who supported us and to the UK Government for making the funds available to us to achieve our dream.
