PARTNER – 
Pub is the Hub

Pub is The Hub is a not-for-profit organisation, which offers independent specialist advice to publicans on services diversification and activities so they can all provide viable local services and social value at the heart of their community.  
These can include a range of services from community cafes, village stores, and allotments, to activities such as travelling theatre and craft workshops, to help bring people together to combat social isolation and loneliness.
Through its initiative Join Inn – Last Orders for Loneliness, Pub is The Hub also supports publicans and people in local areas to become better connected and in the process help alleviate loneliness.

Creative Arts East

Creative Arts East is an arts and community development charity committed to bringing the very best arts and cultural activities to rural and/or under-engaged audiences across Norfolk, Suffolk and the wider eastern region.

We aim to use the transformative power of the arts to fight rural and social isolation; broaden horizons and ambitions; increase skills, health and wellbeing; and make a positive difference to the lives of people living in rural communities. We do this by supporting rural residents to run professional live performance and cinema events for their communities, alongside a portfolio of innovative projects which support education, health and wellbeing and skills development.
