It was an absolute privilege to work with MBKB who are opening up the important conversation about alcohol and making sure it is part of their wellbeing agenda. Just some of the incredible work that Alcohol Change UK does to reduce the harms of alcohol, and I am so proud to work there ❤️ Thank you Luke Radice Katie Biggs Julie Fellows and MBKB Training - Ofsted OUTSTANDING provider

What a fantastic day in Parliament raising awareness of the Dry January® challenge, our Try Dry® app and our policy recommendations to reduce alcohol harm in the UK! Our Dry January® challenge partners, Lucky Saint | B Corp™, DASH Water, Counter Culture Drinks - B Corp™ and Lyre's Spirit Co came along with us to provide tastings of their alcohol-free drinks, showing to MPs the huge range available to help people through January and year round! It's amazing to work with brands that are passionate about supporting our work to end alcohol harm. A huge thank you to all of our ambassadors and supporters for attending, and to the MPs that came along to chat with us about taking on a dry month in January and our policy recommendations.

Looking for a bit of #MondayMotivation? Meet Beckie!👋 After an unsuccessful #DryJanuary in 2023, Beckie took on the Dry January® challenge in 2024 and has had great success ever since!
