The "I'm backing the Pub" campaign brings together all those with an interest in supporting and promoting the British pub.
The campaign builds on the success of the "Axe the Beer Tax - Save the Pub" campaign which was launched in November 2008. That campaign mobilised the public to send over 27,000 emails direct to MPs. This helped to win the backing of over 200 MPs and highlight the huge public concern over pub closures and falling beer sales.
Now, with a new website and new theme "I'm backing the pub", the campaign is also seeking to work with all those most affected by pub closures including those in the sport and recreation, hospitality, music and tourism industries.
With all of these groups coming together, the campaign will work to show politicians the huge contribution the pub makes to local life in Britain - and highlight the negative effects of increased taxes and regulation on the pub industry.
Ultimately, this is a grass roots campaign that is looking to help mobilise everyone who wants to see the local pub flourish and to allow them to have their say to the politicians.
The "I'm backing the Pub" campaign is led by the British Beer & Pub Association, whose members brew 98 per cent of the UK's beer and own more than half of Britain's 54,000 pubs. You can learn more about the BBPA at www.beerandpub.com.
The campaign is supported by a number of organisations including the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA), the Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) and many other organisations, politicians, and celebrities.
