We want to prevent alcohol from harming our communities, and to celebrate the benefits of living alcohol free. We work towards this in several ways under our Live Free Vision.
Delivering Amy’s Story workshops.
These are interactive alcohol awareness workshops with children and adults. Designed for a range of age groups to build resilience and weave important messages about alcohol into the story of Amy’s life.
Challenging myths about alcohol through honest conversations with the public.
Discussions about what alcohol is, it’s impact on individuals and communities, and how to manage the risks. Using media channels and public meetings to get this message across.
Celebrating the benefits of reduced alcohol drinking, and alcohol free living.
Joining with partner organisations at public events and gatherings to share this refreshing message.
Influencing National Policy makers to protect the public fromalcohol harm.
Campaigning with charities, politicians and others to bring about change.
Children are protected from alcohol harm. People are informed honestly about what alcohol is, and the risks involved in drinking it. Communities celebrate the benefits of living alcohol free.
Amy is at the heart of everything we do. Her voice, and her story will always inspire us and drive us forward.
This support group aims to give parents a safe space where they can discuss anything to do with addiction and recovery. Our experienced counsellor will allow group members to share their experiences and put strategies in place to promote well being.
We welcome volunteers to join us from all backgrounds, but particularly encourage individuals who are in recovery, or who access services. In order to volunteer, you must be abstinent from drugs or alcohol. We recognise that volunteers form the back bone of our charity, and there are some roles where training is vital. Working with our partners at the Telford Aftercare Team ( TACT), Share is able to offer training to our volunteers which will lead to an accredited qualification. We are planning that all our volunteers will complete one, or both, of the following online qualifications:
Please get in touch if you are interested in volunteering.
We are planning to develop a local evidence base reflecting the services and support currently available, using online methods, including surveys and smart phone technology. We will be encouraging those using services, professionals working in the sector, GP’s, hospital doctors, employers and others to contribute to this project.
