Responsible drinking campaigns 2005-2007


On the day the new Licensing Laws came into force, we launched a safer drinking campaign raising awareness of the consequences of binge drinking. This pro bono was provided by a local PR company who used social marketing techniques to capture the parody of the “drinks promotion”. The resources can be displayed in a variety of non-specialist settings including community pharmacies, GP surgeries, sexual health clinics, police custody suites, magistrates courts, A&E departments, workplaces, and at point of sale (off licences).

Worried about your Mum or Dad’s drinking?

We worked with Childline to produce a leaflet with tips and information sources to encourage young people to look after themselves and to seek help.
