Alcohol projects get a boost with new online portal

The The Hub of Commissioned Alcohol Projects and Policies (HubCAPP) has now been launched, offering an excellent new resource for commissioners and strategic project managers across England. The new online database provides key information on a comprehensive range of alcohol projects, policies and initiatives to help disseminate best practice and share key learnings. HubCAPP has been funded by the Department of Health and will be managed by Alcohol Concern.

Don Shenker, Acting Chief Executive of Alcohol Concern says:

Alcohol professionals already have a fairly well developed library of guidance documents available to them. HubCAPP has the potential to make the development of new strategies a more dynamic and collaborative process than it has been before. We invite local partnerships to view the time spent submitting their own strategies as an investment. Not only will it help build a valuable mass of information, but it also presents a good opportunity to put some critical distance between them and the decisions they’ve taken to date.

If you have a project you would like to submit or any further questions, please contact Sarah Ward, HubCAPP manager on 0207 264 0510 or info@hubcapp.org.uk
