This workshop is the fourth in a series of six practical workshops to bring you up to speed with the latest stuff, and help you make progress on alcohol.

aim: to drive local action on alcohol through practical guidance target audience: local alcohol champions (we mean anyone who wants to get things moving on alcohol)

why attend: these workshops will change your (working) life.  Action on alcohol has been bogged down in talking endlessly about all too familiar problems, and waiting for funding.  There is important work we can be doing now, with existing resources.  Come and get started.

Hello,

I noticed you are using Jessy's song Sinkin Drinkin Fits in your program:

Jessy is an independant artist, writing and singing all her own music. She wrote Sinkin Drinkin Fits when living in San Francisco around 18 months ago. (She lives in LA now but was born in the UK and raised in Australia).

Let us know if we can get involved in your program in any way that would help the cause.

Cheers,

Thanks for the info and for your offer. Sinkin Drinkin Fits is a great song for the Alcohol Policy UK Podcast, and it's fantastic you've made it available through the Podsafe Music Network.

If you have other songs that relate to drinking and the problems it can cause, please let me know.
