Call It A Night - The campaign aims to improve awareness and communication between parents/carers and teenagers about the dangers of alcohol misuse.

A thought-provoking publicity campaign launches at Rotherham, Arts Theatre on Wednesday, 10 December. The campaign aims to improve awareness and communication between parents/carers and teenagers about the dangers of alcohol misuse. This timely local campaign reflects the increased national drive and strategies announced today in the Queen’s Speech to reduce alcohol misuse and heighten awareness, particularly amongst vulnerable groups like young people.

To launch the campaign, there will be a red carpet premiere of an alcohol awareness DVD called ‘Call It A Night’, to be used across Rotherham schools and other local outlets. This DVD involves Rotherham’s young actors and actresses who will be present to watch the film for the first time and there will be a presentation of certificates to them to acknowledge their achievements. Key speakers will also be present. For further details go to www.callitanight.co.uk
