THE pledge of shares to buy our much-loved pub The Sun Inn has so far promised us £205,000. That's bang on target and boosts our application for a Government grant once the application window reopens.

    The Sun is at the heart of Dentdale on the Yorkshire-Cumbria border and has been bringing our community together and welcoming visitors since the 16th Century.

    It is up for sale and faces an uncertain future so we've set up Dent Community Pub Ltd, a Community Benefit Society (see rules) and hope to buy it through the sale of shares.

    More contributions to our campaign will bring forward plans for refurbishment to the pub so please express your interest through an online Share Pledge.
