Part 7/11:
Unfortunately, pubs are facing a perfect storm of challenges: competition from supermarkets, economic fallout from COVID-19, inflation, and rising costs have all contributed to their struggles. The current cost of living crisis makes regular visits to pubs more difficult for many. Thus, wider community support for pubs becomes essential. Encouraging patrons to visit local pubs and lobbying for governmental support is critical. Organizations like CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) provide resources and campaigns that help elevate the conversation about pub preservation.
