That the Forester as a pub and centre of the Donheads social community was within a short walk across two fields was a key reason for us to buy our cottage in Donhead St Mary 16 years ago and we used to use it very frequently. The Friday evening gatherings there for a drink when everyone came together was very special and much missed. I have pledged a significant contribution to help take The Forester into community ownership because of the pub's key amenity value for all of us living here.

It is the last pub in the village. It has been a place for local people to gather and to feel part of a community.

A local pub is a vital community asset and should be protected. Losing it to residential use would mean losing an important place for people to meet, connect and support our local community.

We have lost too many pubs which are a big part of country life and culture. They stop isolation and loneliness and bring communities together and we need this more than ever. Time to put people before financial profit.

The Forester was our 'go to' pub with family. friends and staff parties - it just had everything you want for a great village pub and Donhead is poorer for being without this key local hub.

Pubs are a focal point for village life. They can’t be allowed to die - otherwise community spirit dies with them.
