A survey found that a fifth of Brits feel a strong sense of community spirit is lacking where they live, so what better way to forge friendships than over a drink
When every penny counts, the offer of a free drink is not to be sniffed at. But there is one condition - you have to visit the pub with a neighbour.
For many towns and villages, the heart of the community is the local pub. So to help bolster neighbourhood spirit in the new year and encourage people to get together, Greene King is offering a free drink - including Ice Breaker Pale Ale - to anyone who visits a participating pub with a neighbour on January 11 between 3pm and 9pm.
When it comes to forging connections with neighbours, clap for carers , sharing food and supplies and attending community events such as street parties were the main drivers of community spirit during lockdown, the research found. However, this didn’t last long, with the study revealing that almost a quarter are no longer taking part in these community events, and a further 21% no longer feel the need to support their neighbours.
When it comes to why we don’t know our neighbours, over half of respondents say it’s because they enjoy their privacy, nearly a third don’t want to invade their neighbours’ privacy and a quarter feel shy or nervous about doing so. Overall, this means a fifth of Brits say that a strong sense of community spirit is lacking where they live.
