#NotAlone

In January 2018, The Drinks Trust (previously The Benevolent) launched a new mental health awareness campaign. The campaign aims to encourage members of the Trade to speak freely about mental health issues within the workplace, creating a stigma-free environment, reminding both employers and employees that The Drinks Trust is here with professionals at hand who can help you. 

 

To support them on their mission, any mental health and wellbeing workshops booked by organisations in the hospitality sector will include a donation to the The Drinks Trust. 

 

So if you're reading this and you work in pubs, breweries, bars, distilleries, restaurants, hotels with dining, catering, off licences, trade press publications, warehouses or an organisation producing, distributing, marketing or selling primarily alcohol. That's you!
