The award looks to celebrate and honour people who have saved pubs from demolition or conversion. In the wake of the Crooked House demolition, this award is more important than ever, says CAMRA.
One of the award’s main aims is to secure publicity for pub-saving campaigns, and encourage others to save their local.
“This award shows the sheer determination and passion people have for our beloved pubs,” said award co-ordinator, Paul Ainsworth.
“We are seeing too many across the country close their doors against a backdrop of the cost-of-living crisis, energy bills, and the shadow the pandemic continues to cast.
“However, determined campaigners across the country are working tirelessly behind the scenes, and CAMRA wants to celebrate these amazing people, while inspiring others and highlighting the steps they can take to save their local.
“The Pub Saving Award aims to showcase the fantastic achievements of these community groups around the country and inspire others to fight to save their local pub from closure.”
