Delivered by the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, the Hospitality Grant Scheme builds on a successful pilot programme and will run for three years. Funding is available for projects that support new hospitality ventures, bring vacant premises back into use and create employment and training opportunities. £3 million has been specifically allocated to support Pub is The Hub, helping rural and community pubs diversify their services through initiatives such as village stores, community cafés and activity spaces.
