Britain’s pubs are worth up to £30 billion in wellbeing value to communities across the UK. But rising costs and high taxes are putting pressure on pubs that bring people together.

❤️ A MASSIVE THANK YOU FROM EVERYONE AT THE MALLARD! ❤️
We are absolutely over the moon to announce that our McMillan Charity Day raised an incredible £953! 🎉
A huge, heartfelt thank you to Chris and Di, who have very kindly donated the remaining £47 to bring our grand total to an amazing £1,000! ❤️
We honestly couldn’t have done it without every single person who supported us. From our amazing staff and helpers, to our customers, local community, stallholders, entertainers, and everyone who donated, attended, or helped in any way — THANK YOU! 🥰
The amount of love, kindness and community spirit shown on the day was truly heartwarming. We came together to raise money for such an important cause, in memory of a much-loved customer and for all the families and friends affected by cancer.
£1,000 raised through the kindness of our Mallard family and community! ❤️
Chris and Di, thank you so much for helping us reach that wonderful milestone. Your generosity means so much.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you all for making the day so special. We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved together. ❤️
