We are delighted to announce that with the support from The Everard Family Foundation and Carling, 12 of the 160+ community projects that applied for funding, are able to go ahead.
The Everards Community Excellence Fund opened for applications throughout April with £40,000 available to support community projects within a 20-mile radius of an Everards pub.
All entries went through a rigorous judging process with the successful projects going through due diligence in June.
“We are delighted to support such a variety of projects and were astounded with the number of entries we had!

Fellow judge, Phil Langley from Carling says; “It’s great to see our work with Everards reaching such a wide audience and we cannot wait to see each project come to life as Everards work with them all to reach fulfilment.”
“We really look forward to being able to not also fund projects but get involved where we can, many of the projects are near our pubs and our business owners are also keen to connect and volunteer where they can with projects. We’ve had a great response and now have some fab projects to get underway throughout the summer which we look forward to sharing with you all” says head of the campaign for Everards, Helen Parker.
You can follow Everards on social media to see all of the projects as they come to life.
