This October, take a break from alcohol and raise money to help reduce alcohol harm:
31 days alcohol-free; one brilliant fundraising challenge.
Sober October has a new home. Alcohol Change UK is now the official charity behind the Sober October fundraising challenge, and we’d love you to be part of it.
The challenge is simple: sign up, create your fundraising page and ask friends, family and colleagues to sponsor you to go alcohol-free for the 31 days of October.
Every pound you raise will help Alcohol Change UK reduce alcohol harm, support people to make positive changes and campaign for a society free from alcohol harm.
Taking a month off alcohol can be a great opportunity to see what a break can do for you – while raising money to help others at the same time.
And you don’t have to do it alone.
You can use our free Try Dry® app alongside your Sober October challenge. Simply select the Sober October goal to track your alcohol-free days and track your progress throughout the month. From calories and money saved to benefits you might be feeling, from better sleep and improved mood to smashing your fitness goals, there are so many benefits to unlock.
We’ll also be in touch during the challenge with fundraising tips, updates and plenty of encouragement to help keep you going.
