SHIFTY’S Alcohol education project and portable alcohol free bar

Developed and run by

Shropshire Youth Association

SHIFTY’S aims to:

Provide young people with basic information on alcohol
Raise awareness of the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption
Reinforce the positive image of sensible drinking

The session will use a variety of media

The bar will show a positive image of sensible drinking and suggest alcohol-free drinks as an alternative to alcohol on social occasions

Sessions will normally last around one and a half to two hours and can be tailored to suit the individual requirements of the Club.

The bar will provide a wide choice of alcohol-free drinks. Each club member can chose one drink free of charge as part of the package.

Before attending the session we will phone to confirm and establish geographic location and specific requirements.

For further information or if you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact the office on 01743 254687
