The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, which organisations have been awarded Pub is the Hub funding to date.

Answered by Kate Dearden

The Government recognises the important role rural pubs and those in deprived areas can play in supporting their communities and the work of Pub Is The Hub in helping them improve their resilience by providing additional community services. That is why the Government has provided £440,000 to help Pub Is The Hub continue this important work

In its 2025 report: PiTH-Social-Value-of-Pubsfinal.pdf, Pub Is The Hub highlighted over 40 diversification projects that could not be delivered due to a lack of funding.

Data on which organisations have been, and will be, awarded funding is held confidentially by Pub is The Hub.
