Alcohol Awareness Week: Rethink the After-Work Drink
This Alcohol Awareness Week, Wirral Ways invites you to #ClockOffTheCrutch — and rethink the role alcohol plays in life after work.
Whether it’s the “harmless pint” or a regular habit masking stress, our campaign shines a light on the hidden emotional and physical costs of after-work drinking. From shift workers and carers to NHS staff and retail teams, we’re calling on Wirral’s workforce to explore healthier ways to unwind — free from pressure, shame or stigma.

The link between work stress and alcohol use

Employer Toolkit
We’ve created a helpful toolkit to help employers understand how to support their staff who may be struggling with their drink and how to create a more inclusive workplace that doesn’t make staff socials about alcohol.
Use the below tools and resources to promote this campaign across your networks and with your workforce. From social assets to printable posters, we’ve got everything you need to promote what local support is available to the people you support, the people you employ and the people you love most.
