The Drinkaware Trust
(UK, 1094586) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Drinkaware is the UK’s most recognised independent alcohol education charity and we provide the facts about alcohol. We’re not anti-alcohol; we just want to help people make informed decisions to avoid unknowingly putting themselves at risk. Unfortunately, contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to be an alcoholic for alcohol to cause you harm. Did you know alcohol is the biggest cause of cancer after smoking? Everyone knows drinking too much causes liver disease, but not many people know liver disease has no symptoms? Over half of 25-44 year olds drink over the daily unit guidelines, unknowingly doubling the risk. By raising money for Drinkaware, you can help us to reduce the number of people at risk of severe illnesses such as stroke, heart disease, diabetes, pancreatitis, infertility and long-term memory loss, all of which can be caused through regularly drinking too much. Unfortunately, young people are also at risk of harm. During adolescence, the brain is still developing. Drinking can cause brain damage impacting on brain function and long term memory. More than 50% of young adults with an STI were under the influence when they had sex, and 76,000 facial injuries a year are due to drunken violence. 100% of the funds raised will go directly towards our campaigns, education programmes and initiatives to help adults, young adults, parents and children understand more about alcohol and its effects.
