📢 TOMORROW IS THE BUDGET: IT’S TIME TO SAVE OUR PUBS, CLUBS & VENUES! 🍻🇬🇧👇

​Tomorrow, the Chancellor delivers the Budget. We are sending an urgent message to the Government: back our hospitality sector before it is too late. ⏳🛑

​Our pubs, bars, and clubs are not just businesses—they are the beating heart of British high streets and local communities. ❤️🏢 But we cannot survive on goodwill alone. 📉💔
​Here is what we urgently need to see announced tomorrow: 👇👇👇

​1️⃣ Cut VAT on Hospitality 📉💸

​The UK is an outlier: At 20%, UK hospitality pays one of the highest VAT rates in Western Europe. 🇬🇧⚖️🇪🇺
​Across the continent, European governments use reduced rates to protect local venues:

France and Spain charge 10% 🇫🇷🇪🇸, Germany charges 7% on accommodation 🇩🇪, and the European average sits around 10-12%. 📊🏨

​Cutting UK hospitality VAT would instantly protect cash flow, save community spaces, and allow venues to invest in their teams! 💰🌱

​2️⃣ Minimum Unit Pricing on Supermarket Alcohol 🛒🛑🍻

​Supermarkets use cheap alcohol as loss-leaders, making off-trade alcohol drastically cheaper than a regulated pint at a local bar. 🏬📈

​Introducing a UK-wide minimum unit price levels the playing field, stops deep-discount off-sales from gutting community venues, and promotes safer, supervised drinking environments in licensed pubs! ⚖️🤝

​3️⃣ Protect 3.5+ Million UK Jobs 👥💼🇬🇧
​Hospitality is the 3rd largest employer in the UK, sustaining over 3.5 million jobs and generating nearly £100 billion for the economy! 📈🔨

​We provide vital first jobs, career apprenticeships, and flexible work in every town and village across the nation.

🏘️🎒 Every venue that closes takes livelihoods with it. 💔🚪

​4️⃣ Relief from Soaring Operating Costs ⚡🔥📈

​Venues are battling compound pressures: energy bills at record highs 🔌💸, rising wholesale stock 📦📈, wage pressures 👥💰, and steep b**r duty 🍺🧾.

​Hundreds of pubs have closed permanently this year alone. 🚪🥀

Without targeted tax relief and business rate protections, hundreds more will be forced to shut their doors for good. 📉🚫

​5️⃣ More Than a Drink: Fighting Loneliness & Boosting Mental Health 🗣️❤️💬

​Pubs and social clubs are proven community hubs that fight social isolation and loneliness across all age groups! 🫶🤝

​A friendly chat at the local bar or attending a community club night is often a vital lifeline for residents living alone. 💬🌟

When a local pub closes, an essential social support system vanishes. 🚪💔

​To our leaders in Westminster: Listen to the trade, back British hospitality, and give our community spaces a fighting chance tomorrow! 🗳️✊🇬🇧
