The pub is the hub - a good practice guide

The highly successful Pub is the Hub scheme was set up in 2001 by Business in the Community's 'The Prince's Rural Action Programme'. The aim was and still is to encourage breweries, managers, landlords and local communities to use their entrepreneurial skills, together with resources available to them, to help to retain and enhance vital rural services, bolster the rural economy and at the same time benefit the local community.
