We’ve received more than 30 pledges of financial support from people locally, across Europe and in America. A huge thank you to everyone helping us work towards reopening The Ship Inn!

After receiving professional advice from our advisors, we’re forming a Community Benefit Society. Our work to prove the Ship Inn is a viable business is nearly complete, and we’re preparing a community share offer, with a launch meeting planned in Surfleet. We’ll share the details soon. For more detail, read our latest newsletter https://surfleetshipmates.org.uk/…/october-newsletter
It was lovely to see so many of you at the Celebrate Surfleet Village fete. Your encouragement keeps us moving forward.
