The Ward 13 Off-Sales campaign launched on October 26th 2009 and is a one year campaign covering the areas of Yoker, Garscadden and Scotstounhill working with local Off-Sales to address the issue of under-age drinking.

Aims

• Reduce the accessibility of alcohol by under 18s through the promotion of responsible sales practice within Off-Sales and the targeting of 'agents' who purchase alcohol on behalf of under 18s as identified through 'The Ripple Effect: Alcohol and Communities Survey'

• Underpinning the campaign will be sign-posting to diversionary activities which aim to provide alternatives to the use of alcohol

• Promote community involvement and ownership of the issue of underage drinking through the 'Alcohol in my life' dvd
