I’ve had a great time convening the BSA alcohol studies but it’s time to start something new 😊

My research on the importance & sustainability of the rural pub has been out for a while now but I'd love to keep working on raising awareness, pushing this topic on policy agendas & supporting organisations. Please share/get in touch! #morethanapub #notjustapub #pubs #rural

I don’t drink alcohol so why am I passionate about #ukpubs. The answer is because they provide communities with unique social spaces. They are economically, socially and culturally important. They are sites of our national and local history and heritage
