Alcohol Awareness Week is just around the corner
For this year’s Alcohol Awareness Week, running from 7-13 July 2025, we’re opening a conversation about the relationship between alcohol and work to help us understand it better. We’ll be sharing some helpful tips and advice on the signs to watch out for, in ourselves and others, and some changes we can make to improve our health, productivity and happiness.
We’ll be looking at the benefits of creating healthier, safer and more respectful workplace cultures in all types of industries and sectors – from offices to factories, shift-work to front-line services – that are fully inclusive and work for us all, including those of us choosing to drink less or not at all - whether for health, religious, or personal reasons. And we’ll explore how this can lead to better physical and mental wellbeing, greater confidence and productivity, and improved employee motivation and safety.

A blanket ban on drinking alcohol on trains is to be lifted, the Scottish Government has announced. From 2 June, passengers on ScotRail services will be permitted to consume alcohol while travelling on certain routes between 10am and 9pm. The carrying and consumption of alcohol has been prohibited on trains and in stations since November 2020, initially as a temporary measure in response to the Covid pandemic.

** Consultation response: Supported Housing regulation
------------------------------------------------------------
[link removed]
The Supported Housing (Regulatory Oversight) Act 2023 ([link removed]) gives the Secretary of State powers to introduce a licensing regime for supported housing, and the power to set National Supported Housing Standards for England.
It places a duty on local housing authorities to produce strategies to understand current availability and future need for supported housing. This consultation sought views on how the government will implement the measures and inform the drafting of regulations and accompanying guidance.
Alcohol Change UK has submitted a response to the consultation, highlighting the need for appropriate accommodation and tailored support for those struggling with their alcohol consumption.
