We Need Your Help!
We hope to be able to buy The Cask on behalf of the community, for it to be run as a genuine community asset, generating a range of benefits for the local community and visitors alike.
We plan to publish our Business Plan and a Community Share Offer in the near future, but before we do so, we need to assess the level of financial support we are likely to be able to secure through a Community Share Offer, and so we are now asking for pledges of support.
Our Community Share Offer will enable individuals (aged 18 or over) and/or corporate bodies to buy shares in the Society, making them a member of the society and giving them a vote at the Annual General Meeting.
Our Community Share Offer will also co-fund the project to purchase and refurbish the building, which will also be supported by a combination of grant funding, donations, other fundraising activities and a loan facility. We are working with Plunkett UK to benefit from their specialist advice, bursary support and financial assistance for the purchase.
Whilst those pledging support will be under no obligation to purchase shares once the Community Share Offer is issued, we do ask that you think carefully about the amount you wish to pledge, as we will use this information to assess the viability of our plans; we do not want to risk misleading stakeholders about the level of support from within the community.
The Cask Community Benefit Society Limited is registered as a Community Benefit Society with the Financial Conduct Authority.
By pledging to invest I agree to my name, email address, amount pledged being held on a database.

I understand that this information will be used for the purpose of maintaining a register of members as required by the rules of the Society and will not be passed to third parties.
