About

Welcome to our fundraising page!

We'll be running the Big Half on Sunday 4 September to support the amazing work done by Alcohol Change UK.

As members of staff at Alcohol Change UK we know the importance of our work for a society that is free from the harm caused by alcohol.

Alcohol is a part of many of our lives. We use it for celebration, for comfort, to socialise, to wind down, to cope. We treat it differently to other drugs; it’s legal, socially acceptable, even encouraged.

Yet in the UK one person every hour dies as a result of alcohol. Alcohol harm – mental health problems, liver disease, one of seven forms of cancer, economic difficulties, and so much more – can affect any one of us, from any walk of life.

The harm doesn’t end with the individual; each of us who drinks too much is part of a family and a community who feel the effects too, whether through frequent use of emergency services, drink driving, violence or neglect.

Together we can make a difference!

Thank you
