What are the local projects and strategies

A number of organisations have provided details of local alcohol initiatives to enable the sharing of knowledge and practice across England. Here you will find details of harm reduction projects and strategies which include a synopsis, history, outcomes and contacts. (These projects and strategies were formerly published on the HubCAPP website hosted by the Department of Health and Alcohol Concern)

Background

The HubCAPP (Hub of Commissioned Alcohol Projects and Policies) website merged with the Alcohol Learning Centre at the beginning of 2011. Both resources were commissioned by the Department of Health as part of the Alcohol Improvement Programme and HubCAPP was run in partnership with Alcohol Concern.

What Practice is Shared?

There is a focus on identifying and sharing local and regional practice in England in relation to reducing alcohol harm. This includes the collection of information on needs analysis and strategic planning, as well as capturing the policies, decisions and strategic history that enabled the projects to come into existence. Information is also provided on how projects were commissioned, received funding, why alcohol was prioritised as an issue in the area and what the outcomes have been.

Local Organisations can:

• Promote and highlight their projects and local strategies
• Share practice examples and details about projects in their area
• Learn from others
