The Kurnia Group
lead the way in Lincolnshire
The Kurnia Group is the first business in
Lincolnshire to sign up to the
Schools Alcohol Awareness Project,
a new education initiative which encourages young people to
adopt responsible attitudes towards alcohol.
As a business active in the licensed
retail sector, The Kurnia Group
is delighted that the classroom materials distributed free to
nominated schools encourage young people to consider the dangers
of alcohol misuse and the serious impact it can have on their
life.
Michael Kheng of Kurnia strongly
supports the aims of the project and has nominated ten
Lincolnshire secondary schools for the scheme.

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
17,500 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 Kurnia Group
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 Kurnia Group has decided to lead the way in this
important initiative.”
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
industry and informs them about some of the many career paths
the sector offers.
