The challenge your community faces
Ten million people across the UK are drinking above low risk guidelines. This year, 32% of adults want to cut down their drinking - representing a massive opportunity for early intervention that many areas struggle to meet with existing resources.
The gap in service provision for risky drinkers is growing, while limited staff capacity means many areas cannot respond effectively to demand. Traditional approaches require significant staffing investment that most health teams simply don't have.
Try Dry® Local: Your complete early intervention solution
Try Dry® Local is a year-round behaviour change initiative which makes it easier for Local Authorities to prevent the harms caused by alcohol in their communities.
As the UK's leading independent alcohol-harm charity, we're building a national network of local authorities committed to reducing alcohol harm. At the centre is our app Try Dry® - a tried and tested early intervention tool which fits into your residents' pockets, providing community insights and data to support your public health aims.
Our behaviour change app outperforms even NHS-developed alternatives, offering unique LSOA-level data and AUDIT-C change tracking that provides meaningful evidence of impact for reporting and commissioning purposes.
