The Bush Inn leads the way in
Worcester
The Bush Inn is the first establishment in Worcester to
sign up to the
national
Schools Alcohol Awareness Project,
an important education initiative which encourages young people to
adopt responsible attitudes towards alcohol.
Andrew Brown of The Bush Inn believes licensed
premises are very much a part of their local community and is
therefore delighted that the classroom materials distributed free to schools encourage young
people to consider the dangers of alcohol misuse and the serious
impact it can have on their life.
The Schools Alcohol Awareness Project
is delivered in partnership with
teachers but is not a government initiative. Its success is due
to the support of BII
 members across the UK.
BII is a national charity and the
professional body for the licensed retail sector. With over
15,000 members, it promotes high standards, good employment
practice and social responsibility within the industry.
Cathie Smith, Director of BIIAB said, "We are very grateful to
The Bush Inn for this support which allows us to
help teachers in a practical way while also raising awareness of
the difficult issues surrounding young people and alcohol.
Patrick Gaffney, Director of the Schools Project added his own
thanks saying, “We can only make a difference in schools if we
gain the support of the wider community. I am delighted that
The Bush Inn has decided to lead the way in Worcester.”
At the same time as tackling issues related to alcohol misuse,
the BII Schools Project also helps pupils throughout the
country understand the growing importance of the hospitality and
leisure
industry, and informs them about some of the many career paths
the sector offers.
