ABOUT US

PubAid is a not for profit organisation, supported by pub companies, industry suppliers and trade organisations. We are the positive voice for pubs, shining a light on the impact that pubs have on their communities.

WHO WE ARE

In a world where negative headlines often dominate, it’s easy to forget the vital role pubs play in our communities. PubAid has one purpose - we exist to shine a light on the positive impact of pubs, reminding everyone that without them, much of the heart and support within our communities would be lost.

Founded in 2009 by a number of senior pub industry figures, PubAid was born out of a desire to counterbalance the often unfair media portrayal of pubs and to celebrate the good they bring to society.

Pubs provide invaluable financial, practical and emotional support to their communities. Without this support, grass roots sport, charities, good causes and local people would suffer. Pubs raise more than £100 million every year for charity and donate a further £40 million in funds or in-kind support to grassroots sports.

If you’re a licensee or a pub goer, visit our Positive PUBlicity Hub to share positive stories about your pub, or to be inspired by others.

We work with press, broadcast media, social channels, MPs and others to highlight the great work carried out day in, day out, by licensees, their teams and their customers, in pubs across the country.

What We Do

Our initiatives include the Community Pub Hero Awards and the World's Biggest Pub Quiz, which has raised £750,000 for charities since it's launch in 2016. Our annual awards seek to find Community Pub Heroes and Corporate Community Heroes.

Our Team

PubAid was founded in 2009 by a number of senior drinks industry people: Des O'Flanagan (former Sottish and Newcastle MD), Keith Knowles OBE (CEO, Beds and Bars) and Tim Sykes (Former Chairman, Beds and Bars)

Our Supporters

We welcome support from industry organisations who want to help us promote the pub as a force for good in communities. We are a lean organisation run largely by volunteers, if you'd like to join our PubAid Community - we would love to hear from you.
