Collingham Community Pub Limited was established in 2018 by ‘members of the community for the benefit of the community’. It was established specifically to raise sufficient funds for the community to secure and safeguard the future of the Royal Oak.

Collingham Community Pub Limited is a not-for-profit Community Benefit Society using model rules (its constitution) developed by the Plunkett Foundation and used by over fifty existing community owned pubs. The Society is registered with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and copies of the constitution, defining your rights as a member, and our business plan can be found on our website www.ccpl.org.uk, so please read them if you wish to invest.

Community Benefit Societies are by law intended to be democratic organisations and all members will have an equal vote regardless of their shareholding and will have the protection of limited liability.

The rules determine that CCPL will trade for the benefit of the community and not for anyone’s private benefit. It will retain and apply profit to advance the Society’s purpose (including through paying interest to members on their shareholding).

We are inviting you to become an investor in the Society through the purchase of shares which confer membership rights on the investor. These membership rights include a voice in the running of the Society and an opportunity to be elected to the Management Committee by members of the Collingwood Community Pub Limited Community Benefit Society at Annual Members’ Meetings, with one vote per member regardless of the number of shares held.
