A regular at a Nottinghamshire pub is in the running for a national award. Glyn Hassell, of Eastwood, is one of just 15 finalists in the Community Pub Hero Awards but he says everyone who has helped the Dog & Parrot raise £40,000 for good causes deserves the accolade.
He was nominated by Kathryn and David Boam, licensees of the micro pub in Nottingham Road, Eastwood. The pub might be small but the locals have big hearts, having raised the impressive amount in five years for charities including the MS Society, RSPCA, Children’s Air Ambulance and Combat Stress.
Last year, Glyn also became chairman of trustees for Durban House Community Hub, which will turn a disused building into a meeting place for local people of all ages. All this is while holding down a full-time job.
