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. Whether it’s:

Helping behind the bar
Serving in the community café
Keeping the garden looking beautiful
Supporting with building maintenance or ongoing improvements
Offering your skills in IT, communications, PR, or helping run events
Joining or supporting the management committee

We also welcome expertise in areas like HR, charity governance, health and safety, risk assessment, or cellar management – the list goes on!
Volunteering is a brilliant way to meet people, learn something new, and be part of something special. If you’d like to offer your support or find out more, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch at: info@thelionatickleton.co.uk

We celebrate all our volunteers, amazing local business supporters and fabulous grant funders on our ‘Lion Heroes’ page.
