By walking, jogging or running the Flora Women’s Mini Marathon on behalf of Alcohol Action Ireland, you can help us redefine Ireland’s harmful relationship with alcohol.
The Flora Women’s Mini Marathon 2014 takes place Bank Holiday Monday, June 2, and with your support we can keep providing a strong, independent voice for advocacy and policy change, working to reduce levels of alcohol-related harm in Ireland.
See all the facts on alcohol-related harm in Ireland here.
We are not anti-alcohol, but we are are “anti” the harm it causes to children, families, communities and businesses, which is why Alcohol Action Ireland takes what is known as a “public health approach” to alcohol-related harm. What this means in reality is that we focus on policies that are most likely to deliver widest benefits to the greatest number of people within the population.
Our key campaigns are:
Keeping It In The Family: Campaigning to have the rights and needs of children living with parental alcohol problems recognised and met.
Have We Bottled It? Alcohol marketing targets young people and influences their drinking behaviour.
Minimum Pricing: Tackling alcohol pricing is one of the most effective ways of reducing alcohol-related harm.
Alcohol Action Ireland is one of the participating charities officially recognised by the Flora Women’s Mini Marathon 2014 and you’ll find us on their list of charities here.
