The Forum from Sunderland has been busy organising and planning their baseline study on Alcohol Awareness in Sunderland. Working with the A690 Youth Initiative, Home Group, Emergency and Health Services in the area and Digital Learning mentors from Teesside Uni, they have produced a brilliant informative film on the facts around Alcohol- which can now be seen on YouTube.
