Community Ownership

For many years one of CAMRA’s stated objectives has been to support community pubs. CAMRA’s view is that “all pubs are community pubs to some degree but some pubs serve their community better than others”. This document provides further explanation and examples of features or services that great community pubs may provide.

CAMRA’s guide to community owned pubs, giving step by step guidance on how to take ownership of your local, and further sources of information and funding.

A sample questionnaire that can be used by a community group looking to take a pub into Community Ownership. Designed to be used with the local community level to gauge levels of support for a buyout, and what the community would want the pub to provide in terms of services.

Guidance on situations in which a pub has closed and the owners of the pub are unwilling to enter a meaningful dialogue about its sale to the local community.
