Great to see Drink Less back in the Health & Fitness chart on the App Store thanks to a mention by Adrian Chiles in an article in the Sunday Times (thetimes.co.uk/article/how-i…) where it’s step 1 of his 12 steps to moderate drinking…

Through the We Lead program, we conducted a PESTLE Analysis and held a meeting to validate the report of the analysis. Findings from this analysis were mind blowing and will be made available for the public in the coming weeks. Watch out for this Space!!!

Prevention seminar. It is more complex and we have to approach different levels if we are going to make a difference. Focusing on one area alone is never enough #EUFASD
