With the further delay of the restrictions easing, uncertainty has once again crept into the minds of publicans as well as the general public.

Everyone can feel anxious and lonely from time to time so why not take the time out of your busy day to reconnect with old friends, family or listen to the stories and experiences from people who may just need someone to talk to. At Useyourlocal we believe there is no better way to do this than over an ice cold beverage and some good old fashioned pub grub.

Building on the belief that Pubs are at the heart of many communities, which create spaces for sociability and companionship, Pub is The Hub has launched a new call to action poem and advice guide for Loneliness Awareness Week (from Monday, 14 June).
