A city pub is being celebrated for its steadfast commitment to community aid.

The Garden House in Norwich has been recognised for its commendable fundraising efforts, raising more than £20,000 for charities including The Salvation Army Norwich and Only a Pavement Away.

The Rotary Club of Norwich St Edmund awarded the pub the President’s Certificate of Recognition for ‘Selfless Service in the Community’.

The Garden House's operators Jonathon, Tanya, and team encouraged customers to donate food during the UEFA European Football Championships, resulting in generous contributions.

The University of East Anglia also provided significant support.

Operator Jonathon said: "Myself and the Garden House team are committed to being a driving force for good within the local community."

Looking ahead, the Garden House is planning ‘Family Feeds’ activity throughout the summer holidays, providing food for families dependent on free school meals.

The pub's drive forms part of the wider ‘Make it a Million’ campaign by Craft Union aiming to raise £1 million in donations by February 2025.

The community is encouraged to join weekly fundraisers and monitor the progress on the Garden House’s Facebook page.
