They didn’t just save a pub.
They bought it.
They own it.
They shape it.

Saxonvale is that opportunity.
Our Town. Let's own it. #Frome
Exciting times: We've secured £1.2m government-backed funding and will soon be launching a #communityshare offer via our newly incorporated #CommunityBenefitSociety
