This Alcohol Awareness Week 2024, join us to raise awareness of the harm caused by alcohol and to learn more about the role that alcohol plays in our society.
Our Drugs and Alcohol team
Our Drugs and Alcohol team are holding a cake and coffee morning for staff to call in and get to know a bit more about what the service offers to mark Alcohol Awareness Week (1 to 7 July).
Staff are asked to make a small donation at the event, which takes place at William House, on the Rathbone Hospital site, on Thursday, 4 July between 10.30am and 2pm.
All donations will be put towards funds being raised by one of their team, John Sloan, who will be taking part in a triathlon in September to raise money for Tom Harrison House, which provides rehabilitation for ex-armed forces men and women experiencing problems with alcohol.
Anyone who wishes to contribute to John’s efforts can do so through his Just Giving page.
