Reducing Alcohol Harm

We are a member-led intermediary organisation for alcohol support charities across Scotland. We champion alcohol counselling as a unique, crucial and long-established type of support for people experiencing alcohol use issues and their loved ones.

Our work strengthens alcohol counselling nationally by providing access to specialist training, supporting high standards in counselling practice and advocating for the importance of alcohol counselling in national decision-making.

We are proud to carry on the legacy of Councils on Alcohol which started as a grassroots movement in the 1960s in Scotland.

Since 2018, together with our members we have delivered:

246,000+

hours of alcohol counselling

62,900+

volunteer hours of alcohol support

30+

accredited volunteer counsellors

4,000+

hours of specialist training

Looking for support?

We do not provide direct support for alcohol use. However, we encourage you to contact one of our member organisations, who offer one-to-one counselling and other frontline services and can help you find the right kind of support.
