It is aimed at practitioners, commissioners and others who work with street drinkers or develop policies which affect them. Voices of experience: stories of change: This report is aimed at people who drink on the streets. It shares people's stories of making positive changes after street drinking, and we hope it will inspire people to make changes. It is also a resource that practitioners can use in key work sessions to discuss some of the issues that affect many street drinkers.
