Wakefield pub spreads community spirit for Children In Need
The Craft Union Pub Company based in Wakefield, hosted guests from the Solihull Pub Centre and challenged them with a range of wacky tasks to help raise awareness of Children In Need in the local community.
Earlier this week, the Wakefield firm launched its ‘Crafty Community Week’ – an initiative to encourage local communities to come together for Remembrance Sunday, World Kindness Day and Children In Need.
