Community Solution Seekers - Levels and Moors

Discover the Power of Community Ownership

Join us for an inspiring session where we explore the story behind a thriving community-owned shop, café, and pub, the Royal Oak at Stoke St Gregory.

Hear firsthand from one of the key founders who helped bring this valuable space to life, and meet the current manager who keeps it running day-to-day.Whether you're curious about starting a community enterprise or simply want to learn more, this event offers insight, connection, and inspiration.

Part of the Thrive, the Community Solution Seekers project offers a welcoming space where local people and organisations serving the community come together to explore ways to improve health and well-being in their communities.

You don’t need to be an expert - just bring an open mind, a willingness to listen, and a desire to share ideas when you’re ready.

If you’ve missed previous sessions, no worries — you can still come along and join in!
