Alcohol harm can affect anyone, from any walk of life. So we want to work with people in communities of all types across the UK to help us create change faster.  As a Volunteer Campaigner you can support us by doing any of the activities below.

• Encouraging others to write to their local councillors or MP, or to sign petitions.
• Setting up your own local campaigning group.
• Placing materials in your community. Putting up posters and distributing leaflets to community spaces like libraries, GP surgeries, coffee shops, pharmacies, and more.
• Spreading the word about alcohol-free products. You can help make sure that people can access alcohol-free alternatives by talking with your local pubs and restaurants or introducing the idea in the workplace for employee/corporate events. You could even publish a review of the alcohol-free offerings available locally for your local newspaper. Our guide will help you to get started.
• Promoting our campaigns. Spread awareness of campaigns such as Alcohol Awareness Week, Dry January® and Sober Spring within your community.
• Joining focus groups. You can help us by joining a focus group to help us test our Try Dry® app, assist with fundraising campaigns or share lived experience of alcohol harm.
• Sharing your story. This could be for one of our blogs, fundraising appeals, for a media request or even at an event with one of our corporate partners.

What skills do I need?

Good verbal and written communication skills, passion and enthusiasm for Alcohol Change UK and connecting with your local community.
