Volunteer With Us
One of the best things about being a community-owned pub is that everyone has the opportunity to play a part in its success. The Lion at Ickleton is more than just a pub – it’s a shared project, a community hub, and a space we’re building together.
There are so many ways to get involved, whatever your skills, experience or availability.
Behind the bar · Community café · Garden · DIY & maintenance · Events · IT & communications · Professional skills · Management committee
Whether you can spare a few hours occasionally or would like to get involved more regularly, we’d love to hear from you. Volunteering is a great way to meet people, share your skills, learn something new and be part of The Lion’s story.
We celebrate all our volunteers, amazing local business supporters and fabulous grant funders on our ‘Lion Heroes’ page.
