Alcohol Awareness Week 2011
14 - 18 November
Alcohol affects others. How does it affect you?
All this week you'll be able to get information, advice and support on alcohol related issues as the Safer Gateshead Partnership and Victim Support takes to the road around the borough.
As well as advice and support, the week long road show will also offer free NHS health checks for those aged 40 – 74 years, information on other support services available in the borough and more.
Starting on Monday 14 November, the Alcohol Awareness bus will visit the following sites across Gateshead:

Balance Campaign
This year’s Alcohol Awareness campaign focuses on the effects alcohol has on those around you. The road show will include information on a campaign led by Balance It, the North East’s Alcohol Office, highlighting the damage that alcohol advertising is having on children. Visitors to the bus will have the opportunity to sign the campaign petition to introduce a 9pm watershed in an attempt to stop alcohol advertising reaching children. For further information and to see the advert visit the Balance It website here|.
