I need your help.
Hospitality is getting hit hard at the minute, and it’s something we’re seeing first-hand.

Week after week, good businesses are closing their doors. Cafés, restaurants, takeaways, pubs, food traders… places that are often right at the heart of their communities.

The costs involved in keeping a food business going are putting a serious strain on people. It’s not just the traders who feel it either. Customers feel it too, because when costs rise, prices have to rise just to keep the doors open.

And that’s the bit that hurts.

Good food should be something people can still enjoy. Families should be able to go out for a meal, grab something proper, support local businesses and know they’re helping keep people in work.

At Propa, we see how much this eats into everything. We’re determined to support the industry where we can, because this doesn’t just affect one business. It affects staff, suppliers, customers, high streets and communities.

Reducing the pressure on hospitality would benefit everyone.

It helps businesses stay open.
It helps protect jobs.
It helps keep prices more realistic for customers.
And it helps people continue to enjoy good, freshly made food rather than always being pushed towards cheaper processed options.

So if you care about local food businesses, restaurants, cafés, pubs and the people working hard behind them, please get behind this.

For any of you lovely lot who are happy to support, you can find it below

Much love,

This stretch of the waterway runs north south, so we get shade from midday on the towpath side. Its still fiendishly hot in the boat so we spend most of the day outside. The bridges here are super elegant in our opinion. :)
