🎉 10 YEARS OF MAKING TUESDAY NIGHTS SPECIAL! ❤️

There's something truly special happening at The Old Fire Station in Ashton-under-Lyne, where local charity Ambitions has just celebrated 10 incredible years of bringing people together! 🥳

Every Tuesday, around 100 adults with disabilities and additional support needs come together for an evening of music, dancing, friendship and fun.

Thanks to the dedication of Jonathan and Stephanie Griffiths-Barnes and their wonderful team of volunteers, these evenings have been creating friendships, building confidence and making lasting memories for a whole decade. ❤️

And what a way to celebrate! The 10th anniversary party featured live entertainment, a magician, photo booth, fire show and plenty of dancing! 🎶✨

👏 A huge thank you to everyone at Ambitions, the volunteers and pub operators Laurie and Ant for making The Old Fire Station such a welcoming place for everyone.

And the celebrations aren't over!

🏆 OUR VERY OWN PRIDE OF BRITAIN WINNER! ❤️

We’re absolutely delighted to celebrate Elaine Oakey from The Queens in Blackpool, who has been named a winner at the 2026 Pride of Britain Awards! 👏

Elaine has received the prestigious P&O Cruises Inspiration Award in recognition of more than a decade of incredible work helping young amputees enjoy football, build confidence and achieve their dreams. ⚽

Inspired by her son Jamie, who was born with a limb difference and has since gone on to represent Everton and England, Elaine has dedicated countless hours to creating opportunities for children through the England Amputee Football Association.

And if that wasn’t enough, she also prepares and delivers Sunday dinners to around 30 vulnerable and isolated people in her local community. ❤️

To her colleagues and customers at The Queens Blackpool Elaine is already a superstar. Now the whole country knows it too!

From everyone at Amber Taverns, congratulations Elaine! We’re incredibly proud to have you as part of our pub family. 🍻

❤️ A true community hero at The William Archer, Wednesbury!

An ordinary Saturday evening turned into a life threatening emergency when a customer became unresponsive at The William Archer.

Thanks to the quick thinking actions of bar team member Morgan and off duty ambulance technician Kiera Grigg, who stepped in to administer CPR, vital help was provided when every second mattered. 👏

We're incredibly proud of everyone involved and grateful to Kiera for her incredible response.

Inspired by what happened, Scott, Amy and the team at The William Archer are now launching a community fundraising appeal to install a defibrillator at the pub. ❤️

It's a fantastic initiative that could one day help save another life, and we'd love to see the local community get behind it.

This is what community pubs are all about, people looking out for one another. ❤️

👏 Well done to Kiera, Morgan and everyone who helped that evening.

📍 Follow and support The William Archer, Wednesbury for updates on their fundraising campaign.

💚 WHEN THE SHIFT ENDS, THE PRESSURE DOESN’T ALWAYS STOP.

Working in hospitality can be incredibly rewarding but it can also be fast paced, demanding and difficult to switch off from.

That’s why we’re proud to support LTC’s Always On Shift campaign, highlighting how the pressures of hospitality can sometimes follow people home long after their shift has finished.

The film we’re sharing today is an important reminder to everyone working across our industry: you don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming before reaching out for support.

At Amber Taverns, the wellbeing of our people matters. Through our partnership with LTC, confidential support is available to our teams whether the challenge is related to wellbeing, money or simply the practical pressures of everyday life.

Take a couple of minutes to watch the film. 🎥

And if its message feels familiar, whether that’s for you, a colleague, a friend or someone you love, please remember that support is available.

💚 LTC’s free, confidential helpline is available 24/7 on 0808 801 0550.

Sometimes starting the conversation is the most important step.

Yesterday, Amber Taverns was proud to sponsor Dave Day 3 ❤️🏍️ The Kings

What an incredible day celebrating the life and legacy of Dave Myers, bringing communities together, raising money for amazing causes and proving once again what can happen when people unite for something bigger than themselves.

From the roar of the bikes to the atmosphere in our pubs, the spirit of Dave Day was felt right across the country.

A huge thank you to everyone who took part, supported the event, visited our pubs, stamped their passports and helped make the day so special.

We’re honoured to have played a small part in such a fantastic event and to support the incredible work of NSPCC and CancerCare
