Pulling together to save your local 

Keep pubs alive and thriving in every community

CAMRA membership counts, join us now.

Pubs are at the heart of our history and heritage, and one of our most cherished British institutions.

The forced lockdown of the nation’s pubs has had a devastating impact on the industry, with estimates that up to 40% of the nation’s pubs may close their doors for good.

We must act now to secure their future.

Pubs are a force for good in society, providing social and wellbeing benefits for people across the UK.

Campaigning for pubs is at the heart of what CAMRA does., whether it’s our local volunteers campaigning against a possible pub closure, encouraging Councils to adopt pub friendly planning policies, or lobbying the Government to take action on business rates. During COVID-19 lockdown, we have been campaigning to save and protect pubs and breweries as part of our Pulling Together campaign.

Yet our pubs are under threat, now more than ever!  CAMRA membership counts, join us today and help us campaign for pubs across the country.
