Beckley & Area Community Benefit Society

Beckley & Area Community Benefit Society Ltd (know as BACBS or the Society) is a not-for-profit organisation set up to own and and operate The Abingdon Arms, Beckley. You can read more about how the community of Beckley and its neighbouring villages purchased the pub, saved it from potential closure and now oversee the running of a thriving community on the Our Story page.
