Aim
Landlord at Railway Tavern faces life-changing injuries after an attack at his pub. Help support his recovery and long road back to mobility
Many of you will already be aware that local pub landlord Philip Ashby has suffered a serious injury after an incident at his pub. He is currently in hospital and will remain there for some time before beginning a long and difficult period of rehabilitation. Doctors expect it may take at least six months for him to regain mobility.
Because of this, the Railway Tavern has been forced to close. Sadly, the business has not been able to withstand the impact of this tragedy, and Philip has announced that the pub will not reopen under his ownership.
I don’t know Philip personally, but reading his message and learning about what has happened moved me deeply. He has been a part of this community since taking over the pub in 2017, creating a space where many people have shared good times and lasting friendships. Now, in his time of need, I believe we can come together as a community to show support.
This fundraiser is an opportunity to ease some of the financial burden Philip faces as he recovers and adapts to life with these life-changing injuries. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a difference and demonstrate to Philip that he is not facing this alone.
Let’s stand with him during this incredibly difficult time and show that the strength of our community extends far beyond the pub doors.
If Phil is ever able to reclaim some of these costs, he will donate the funds to Children with Cancer Charity. However, as we all know this can take years and he needs the support now to make his recovery more manageable.
