The Swan Community Project

You may have noticed how many pubs are slowly and quietly disappearing from the local villages?  We have, so when we heard we might be able to buy the Swan we decided to do something about it. We set up The Swan Community Project, an exciting project that will see our historic pub, The Swan on The Green, West Peckham, moved to Community ownership for future generations to enjoy.

 A Community Benefit Society

A Community Benefit Society, The Swan Community Project Limited, will own The Swan and be responsible for its future. It’s a ‘not for profit’ Society with a mission to operate for the benefit of the Community and will re-invest a substantial amount of profits to achieve this. Community ownership will give the shareholders a say in how the pub will be run.

Our vision is for a friendly local pub offering great food, great service and with a great atmosphere. We already have a great location!

Community Ownership

The purchase of The Swan on the Green was a landmark moment for the community, marking the successful transition of this much-loved pub into community ownership.

With the support of 463 shareholders, from all over the world an incredible £525,010 was raised, enabling the community to officially purchase The Swan on the Green on 31st March 2025.

This achievement reflects the power of community spirit, determination and a shared love of an incredible village pub which we can now transform into a wonderful hub for everybody to enjoy. Together, we’ve secured the Swan on the Green’s future for generations to come.
