In Brief
Bottletop was a project that helped young people address alcohol abuse. It encouraged them to peer review art and social media which highlights the risks associated with irresponsible drinking.
Project Description
Alcohol misuse, expecially amongst young people, has been identified as a local priority for Herefordshire. Bottletop was an initiative that utilised social media and art to create images and campaigns that help to inform young people of the dangers of alcohol misuse and create a more responsible drinking culture. The project drew on the experiences and creativity of the young people themselves in producing the material, and the process of peer review created a positive influence for change.
The project was highlighted within the Primary Care Trust's Public Health Report in 2011 and was awarded the Herefordshire High Sheriff's Award in 2013.
Our Role
Brightspace provided management support for the project and helped to convene the appropriate local partnerships to deliver the outputs. We also undertook extensive evaluation of the outcomes, demonstrating its effectiveness and the impacts on those who participate.
