If you run an independent pub, restaurant or café, it’s worth knowing about the new Hospitality Grant Scheme.
The three-year scheme is designed to support projects that:
• help new hospitality businesses get off the ground
• bring vacant premises back into use
• create training and employment opportunities
• help existing hospitality venues adapt, diversify and grow
There’s also £3 million specifically earmarked for Pub is The Hub, supporting pubs in rural and deprived areas to diversify their services and become even more important community spaces.
Applications are opening from the end of September, with guidance already available.
If you’re thinking about applying, make sure you understand what the funding can be used for and what information you’ll need to provide before you start your application.
