The Anglers Rest

6 May 2020

The Anglers Rest is a community enterprise offering a pub, cafe and post office service to residents and tourists in Hope Valley, Bamford. The enterprise was seriously affected during the Covid-19 crisis and had to close all of its services other than the post office. With help and guidance from their Growth Hub adviser the Angler's Rest were able to access grant funding and government support to help with cash flow. 

The advice from East Midlands Combined County Authority enabled us to access the hospitality grant from our local authority quickly and easily. We had been told that the council would contact us so we were waiting patiently for that to happen. Then Lisa signposted us to an online form to claim the grant and within a matter of days the money was in our account. This has helped enormously with cashflow whilst most of our business is closed and our staff furloughed.
