Across the UK, our cafes, pubs and restaurants are more than just businesses. They are the beating heart of our communities, the places where we celebrate milestones, share a quiet pint or coffee with a friend and create lifelong memories. And they're struggling to stay afloat.

We simply can't afford to lose another one of our favourite local spots. Cutting VAT for hospitality could provide a desperately needed lifeline. With the Autumn Budget approaching, we call on the Government to act now. Support the sector that brings our towns and villages to life and give our local hospitality a fighting chance.
