Make it Orange this October to fundraise for Alcohol Change UK!

 

How to get involved

Fundraise

How will you Make it Orange and raise money? Choose your orange themed activity and let people know when you’ll do it! Here are a few ideas to get you started:

  • Bake sale (cakes with orange flavour or icing)
  • Mocktail party (with special orange mixes/drinks)
  • Create StravaArt
  • Collections using our orange buckets
  • Do your own thing, it’s up to you!

Once you know what you’ll do, get in touch fundraising@alcoholchange.org.uk and let us know and we will send you details of how to set up your fundraising page.

Donate.

Fundraising not your thing but still want to support? Make a donation, any amount is appreciated, to help us work for a society that is free from the harm caused by alcohol.

  • A donation of £20 could support around 20 people reduce their drinking through Dry January®.
  • £30 could help us develop and deliver more training for front line workers and improve support for dependent drinkers.
  • £40 could cover the costs of supporting 16 people for six months to reduce their drinking through our Try Dry® app.

Reasons to support Alcohol Change UK

Find out more about the work we do and the difference you can make.

Every day in the UK more than 20 people die as a result of alcohol. Alcohol harm – mental health problems, liver disease, one of seven forms of cancer, economic difficulties, and so much more – can affect any one of us, from any walk of life.

The harm doesn’t end with the individual; each of us who drinks too much is part of a family and a community who feel the effects too, whether through frequent use of emergency services, drink driving, violence or neglect.

We want to build a future in which people drink as a conscious choice, not a default; where the issues which lead to alcohol problems – like poverty, mental health issues, homelessness – are addressed; where those of us who drink too much, and our loved ones, have access to high-quality support whenever we need it, without shame or stigma.

Help us make that a reality.

By donating, fundraising for us or supporting our campaigns, you can help to improve and save lives across the UK.

Your support helps us:

  • Provide online advice and support to thousands of people in search of help each year, whether as a result of their own or others’ drinking.
  • Research alcohol harm, communicate that research, and fund others to do the same. The more we know about alcohol harm, the faster we can end it.
  • Campaign for evidence-based policies around alcohol that will improve lives across the UK. In the past 12 months our campaigns have included clearer alcohol labelling, better funding for alcohol treatment and support, and common sense rules around alcohol marketing.
  • Run campaigns like Dry January and Alcohol Awareness Week, which encourage millions of people to change their drinking habits, and so help create more informed and balanced drinking cultures across the UK.
  • Provide expert training and consultancy in professional settings and much more…
