It's #AlcoholAwarenessWeek, running from 7-13 July 2025. Last year, we took to the streets with @projectcerti to ask about sober curiosity.
@Actionaddiction's latest research says 49% of UK adults said their dependency was on alcohol.

🎉 Shouting out to Harold Offeh who is bringing his creative vision to the @balticgateshead Jul '25!
Offeh’s work with us, ‘Let’s Talk About Chemsex’ has already sparked vital conversations around #LGBTQ+ experiences, intimacy, and recovery.
Learn more on our website.
This #LGBTHistoryMonth, we celebrate performance artist David Hoyle. His exploration of social issues is a powerful voice in the LGBTQ+ community.
We are proud to have worked together on "My Recoverist Family," a film that delves into recovery in the LGBTQ+ community.
We loved reading the recent article on @theworldofinteriors, highlighting the work of Carol McNicoll, a pioneering ceramicist.
In 2022, we were thrilled to work with Carol on The Repair Project; which underscored the profound connection between art and healing.
