Happy New Year! After the indulgence of the festive season, a number of NCFE sober soldiers have given up alcohol for the whole of January as part of a Cancer Research UK initiative.

Our brave ‘dryathletes’ will be removing their beer goggles and turning their back on the bar in order to raise money for the cause. Their willpower will be rewarded with sponsorship from their fellow colleagues and the great news is that all cash raised in the office will be doubled by NCFE. If our volunteers need a night off for a special occasion, they’re able to buy a ‘golden pass’ to allow themselves a cheeky tipple without the guilt (all funds going to Cancer Research UK).

NCFE will, of course, be supporting staff in their worthy mission, providing a range of tasty non-alcoholic cocktails on Friday afternoons to help kick-start their dry weekends!

If you think you’ve got what it takes to join the ‘dryathlon’, you can find out more here.

NCFE offers a Level 1 Award in Alcohol Awareness which aims to prevent alcohol misuse amongst young people and to intervene early with those who need support. The short course raises awareness of the harmful effects of alcohol and helps people to make healthy choices. The qualification can be delivered to both young adults and also learners under the age of 16 in schools.
