Dear Shareholders, Neighbours & Friends,

Happy New Year!

As many of you know, our beloved community pub, The Green Man, has weathered difficult times over the past few years. We have faced challenging trading conditions, which have inevitably put a strain on our finances. This situation has necessitated a temporary halt in essential maintenance and improvement projects. However, the situation has taken a positive turn with the arrival of our new tenants, Kevin and Janet. Their dedication and personal investment have significantly revitalised the pub, breathing new life into it and rekindling its central role in our community.

In line with these positive changes, we are excited to announce that we can now continue with a significant project that, with your support, we started a number of years ago. The project is aimed at enhancing the comfort and appeal of The Green Man – the replacement of our aging windows. This is not just about improving the building; it's an investment in the pub's future and our community's spirit.

Toppesfield Community Pub (TCP) is proud to invest in the replacement of six windows. This is a big step towards making our pub more energy-efficient, comfortable, and visually appealing. But we're setting our sights even higher, and we need your help to do it.

Our Community Challenge: Can we raise enough funds by the end of January to cover the 7th window?

This is where we turn to you, our amazing community, to help us achieve this goal. Every contribution, big or small, brings us closer to adding that 7th window, symbolising our collective strength and commitment to The Green Man.

How to Contribute:

- Donate online

- Drop by The Green Man to make a donation in the window bucket or at the till

- Share our fundraiser with friends and family

- Attend our fundraising event - keep your eyes peeled for more info!

Together we can continue to make The Green Man a place we're all proud of. Let's keep the spirit of our community shining brightly through every pane of glass we install!

Thank you for your continued support and dedication.

Warm regards,

TCP Committee
