Donna and the team at Old Ball Inn, Smallshaw have been doing an incredible job supporting their local community, putting together food bags filled with everyday essentials for families who need them most.
Last week alone, Donna helped support 160 families.
It’s exactly what Heroes of Hunger is all about. Our pubs at the heart of their communities, bringing people together and making a real difference beyond the bar.
Hear from Donna about what they’ve been doing at The Old Ball and why supporting their local community means so much. 👇

Two of our Proper Pubs made it all the way to the finals of this year’s Great British Pub Awards! 🍻🏆
The Chrystal Bell, Glasgow and The Ashmore Inn were both shortlisted for Admiral Taverns Pub of the Year, joining just four other pubs from across the Admiral estate in the final.
Both pubs are brilliant examples of what our operators bring to their communities every day, and reaching the final is recognition of the work that goes on behind the scenes all year round.
A massive congratulations to the teams at the Chrystal Bell and Ashmore Inn, and of course to The Crown Fordham on taking home the award! 👏
ABBA fans, this ones for you. React with your winner 🪩
