Since the birth of the brewery, we have been proud to have supported charities and events both at a local and national level. It’s our way of giving back something to a community that has supported us in our growth and development.
In many cases, we are involved directly with the charities, especially local ones, although it is more common for us to be the supplier of beer for events that have a fundraising agenda. It is very rare for us to make financial contributions to the support of charities unless it is money raised from beer sales at an event we have hosted, such as The Dapper Drinker, Tring Carnival or Blues in the Brewery.
Over the past few years we have seen an increasing number of requests for our fundraising support through events of all sizes. However, with requests now coming through on an almost daily basis we have had to introduce some methods to filter them. If we continue to give away product we may become unable to support anyone, and we don’t want that to happen… sometimes lives depend on it.
We get a lot of people asking if beer really helps them make money so we have generated the following breakdown: if you purchase 72 pint cask of Side Pocket from us at our typical “charity rate” and sold that at £4.00 per pint you’d see a profit of over £150. It’s an easy way to make a bit more money for your chosen charity and keep the attendees of your event happy.
What would we like in return? Well a bit of advertising never hurts and really all we ask is that you pop in from time to time to buy some beer, maybe tell your friends about us as well.
Our Charity pledge for 2026 and onwards
We will continue support for school fundraising events specifically those in Tring, Berkhamsted, Aldbury, Pitstone, Marsworth and Wigginton.
We will continue support for local/regional charities with registered charitable status.
Members of the public holding a private fundraising event for a charity must provide us with a letter from said charity stating this to be the case. Regrettably we cannot support all applications.
Unless otherwise agreed, our support will continue to be through either the free or discounted issue of product and where possible the marketing of your event.
Tring Brewery 2026 Charity
Berkhamsted & district community first responders
Community first responders (CFRs) are dedicated volunteers trained by the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) to attend local life-threatening 999 emergency calls, delivering critical care in the vital minutes before an ambulance crew. CFRs give their time freely, often aiming to provide cover 365 days a year, to support their local community in its greatest time of need.
Tring Brewery will be joining forces with the Berkhamsted and District CFR group, who are supported by the East of England Ambulance Service Charity (Registered Charity No. 1047987).
The local group were established in 1998 and have been supporting their local community since. Berkhamsted and District CFR group is run out of Little Gaddesden, covering Tring, Northchurch, Berkhamsted, and surrounding villages out for approximately 10 miles.
Equipped with vital emergency response kits including monitoring and treatment equipment, defibrillators, communication and navigation devices, as well as access to advanced clinical advice. Berkhamsted and District CFRs are on call for 15-20 hours per week. Volunteers also give their time to run defibrillator and CPR awareness training, offered to local groups and organisations, as well as fundraising.
Community First Responder Groups are supported by the East of England Ambulance Service Charity. The charity relies on the generosity of supporters to go above and beyond what NHS funding can provide. Support helps care for the volunteers, staff, patients, and communities across the east of England, enabling life-saving work that simply wouldn’t happen without public backing.
