Alcohol and Drug Awareness Workshops

Our unique Alcohol and Drugs Awareness Workshop for Years 5-8 creates a safe environment for pupils to begin considering this sensitive subject. We aim to ‘prepare not to scare’ as we delve into the issues surrounding drugs, alcohol and smoking, as well as the associated issues of peer pressure and knowing how to make informed, sensible decisions.

Pupils find this workshop setting, led by a trained A-life coach, a comfortable and relaxed space in which to explore the issues through hands-on activities (including trying out our amazing drunk simulation goggles) to help children engage in this serious and important topic which many schools and families find difficult to tackle.

• Interactive, hard-hitting yet super-fun session
• We are an experienced provider with over 18 years’ experience, having taught over 1 million children in more than 1000 schools with outstanding feedback and a 5 star rating almost every time

This workshop is hall/classroom-based and includes an interactive presentation led by a trained A-life coach combined with hands-on activities for maximum impact, getting the children actively involved with movement, discussions and demonstrations.

"Excellent. Great balance of facts, discussion and activities. I think they'll remember this for a long time and have taken a lot from it - thank you. Very informative and pitched just right for this age group of pupils (Year 6) - will help discussion to follow. Superb way of demonstrating the benefits and ill effects of drugs. Very interactive and great coach. The children absolutely loved it! 5*."

"The students were so engaged with the sessions, they had the correct amount of facts, activities and discussions with the Year 8s. The students found the information interesting and relevant and I could see that it was a real eye opener to them regarding alcohol and drugs. The coach really did well to run the session and engage the students. It was very refreshing to see the students so engaged. 5*."
