Richard Piper CEO of Alcohol Change UK

Thanks for joining me for this bonus sober spring special of One For The Road.
Today’s episode is with Richard Piper, CEO of Alcohol Change UK.
We discuss Stigma, Sober shaming and the start of Sober Spring, and of course my 24 hour Liveathon on the 26th of March.
Alcohol Change UK work to end the harm caused by alcohol. Helping tens of thousands of people take control of their drinking and provide vital advice for families desperate to help a loved one. They are not anti-alcohol; they are for a future in which people drink as a conscious choice, not by default. They want those who drink too much, and their loved ones, to have access to high-quality support whenever it’s needed, without shame or stigma.
They help people to find alcohol services in their area and support tens of thousands of people and their families online via our peer support groups and advice hub. Over 200,000 people used their Try Dry app to monitor their drinking this year alone, and many of them were able to successfully reduce or stop drinking.
Through their Blue Light programme they work with some of the UK's most vulnerable people, who are too often considered to be ‘beyond help’.
