The Big Bus Tour Salford

Following the success of its first visit, The Big Alcohol Conversation bus tour will be hitting the streets of Salford again on Wednesday January 23rd at Eccles town centre. This is your chance to be a part of changing the role of alcohol in your community. Throughout the bus tour you can have your say on how we could do things differently when it comes to drinking, watch our powerful videos, win £250 worth of shopping vouchers and claim your Big Alcohol Conversation goody bag.

One thing that struck me is that we automatically assume that people with drug and alcohol issues are in the forces, but it's definitely not the case.


Achieve in Salford have done a fantastic job with me, they have got me back into work after 15 years on benefits.


The effects of alcohol can cause all sorts of cancers and heart disease.
