<div><strong>Current progress</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>So far, thanks to your generous donations, we have been able to:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Sign up for membership of the Plunkett Foundation, who are providing us with expert advice throughout the process of setting up and then running a successful community pub (for more information on what Plunkett offer us click <a href="https://www.plunkett.co.uk/how-we-help" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">www.plunkett.co.uk/how-we-help/</a>)
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Register as a Community Benefit Society, the preferred legal structure for community initiatives recommended by the Plunkett Foundation
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Complete a red book valuation on the pub, making sure the price of the property is a true reflection of its value
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Launch our pledge offer which is running until 28 February 2026 to gauge interest in our share offer - if you would be interested in purchasing shares then forms are available to download from our website at <a href="https://railwayinn.org/news/pledge-forms-now-available" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><a href="https://railwayinn.org/news/pledge-forms-now-available/." target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://railwayinn.org/news/pledge-forms-now-available/.</a></a> If you would like more information please email us through the contact form on our website, or you can message us through GoFundme, through our facebook page or speak to any of the committee members.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Next steps</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We have made amazing progress already in such a short space of time but we still need your help. We are continuing to raise money to purchase the pub, both through our share offer and through this fundraiser. If you can help at all then your donations will be gratefully received and will go towards the purchase of the pub and then the refurbishment costs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We are also holding a fundraising quiz on Sunday 8th February 2026 at St Luke's Hall, Norton Bridge. For more details see our facebook page.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Our Pledge to You</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We, The Railway Inn Steering Committee, sincerely believe that with your help this project can succeed, but obviously, we cannot guarantee it. What we can promise you is that:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>All of our time is volunteered and the Steering Committee will not be taking any expenses from the donation fund
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>We will be fully transparent with you about every penny we spend
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please note, if for any reason this project fails, then any money that has not been spent will be refunded back to the donors. This will be shared proportionately amongst the donors (based on their original donation amount, minus a percentage of what has already been spent.) Donations received through the Gofundme fundraiser are donations and will not be classed as investments / shares.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On behalf of all the steering group involved in the project we would like to say a huge Thank You! to the community for all the support we have received so far and for any support you can give. Please help us to get to our goal and buy the Railway Inn for generations to come. This will be such an important social and community space for the Parish. ❤️ We will be doing weekly updates and facebook reels with further updates - keep your eyes peeled!
</div>
