Underage drinking was causing problems in Broadstairs. So local partners did something about it. Retailer engagement, alcohol education and positive activities for young people all played a part, helping to significantly reduce anti-social behaviour. communityalcoholpartnerships…

Young people taking part in Let’s Row with CAP Scotland have been learning about alcohol but also getting the chance to try something completely different. It's a great example of how positive activities can bring alcohol education and new experiences together.

We were delighted to recently hold a celebration at @tinsidelido. CAPFest was the culmination of sessions and activities over the summer on @PlymHoe surrounding the dangers of tombstoning, and how we could provide activities for young people that were accessible and low pressure. Young people took part in boxing, DJing, and connected with local support including the Child Centred Policing Team (@DC_Police), @TheZonePlymouth and the @childrensociety. CAPFest was planned and run by young people, who created posters, wrote funding bids and spoke at meetings with organisations such as The Zone, @CAPUKTweets and the Trust. The event included swimming, live music from DJ Jozzy, and a group of young people who got together and performed as a band named Asylum. CAPFest and the activities on the Hoe were put together as part of a wider collaboration between Community Alcohol Partnerships, The Zone, Child Centre Policing, @plymouthcc Youth Service (Cosmo), Plymouth Youth Music Service, Children’s Society and @PlymCommHomes aimed at creating safe and accessible spaces and activities for children and young people, whilst raising awareness around potentially dangerous behaviours, and drug and alcohol use and the effects that it can have.

Partnership working is a big part of what makes a CAP work. Every CAP is different because it is shaped by the community it works in and the organisations involved. The important thing is getting the right people around the table and working together on what matters locally.

This is what positive youth engagement looks like in action. Delivered in partnership with Ebbw Vale CAP, the sessions have given young people positive things to do and created opportunities for youth workers to engage with them in a relaxed, supportive environment.

We’re pleased to see our collective way of working recognised by Deputy Chief Constable Scott Green, National Police Chiefs Council Lead for Alcohol Harm and Licensing. His words reflect what we see across CAPs every day - bringing people together locally can make a difference.

Thanks to all the partners who have helped make the It'll Cost You Campaign' a success this year. The campaign has run it course for this year but the message remains important all year round.
