Community Benefit Society

The Friends of the Elm Tree are  planning to bring the Elm Tree Inn into community ownership by forming a Community Benefit Society. We are being supported by the Plunkett Foundation, a charity committed to supporting rural community businesses.  

A community benefit society is owned by the community for the benefit of the  community. Profits do not go to any individuals, they go to help the community and to pay shareholders (please see the Share Prospectus).

We are planning various funding streams, from grants, donations,  fundraising events and  the very important Share Offer . We have to raise at least £650K by March 2025.

The Elm Tree Inn has been  central  to our community and visitors over the years, and we are determined with everyone's help, not to lose it.
