USB C to USB A

I have a magsafe charger which is fine for charging when I have access to a wall socket. However if I don't have access to a wall socket (shop, public transport) then all connections here in the UK seem to be USB-A. I can no longer use my normal port connection on my iphone 12 (broken), so I am left with the magsafe only. So when I remove the 3 pin plug I am left with a USB-c wire connection. My question is can you get an adaptor that has a USB-c female connection that then goes to a USB-a male pin connection (eg. just like the earlier USB-a wired connection)?

Also would it still charge albeit slower?

iPhone 7, iOS 14

Yes.

Charging speed would depend on the power provided by the USB port. USB-A in and of itself would not cause it to charge slower in most cases.
