Making informed choices about alcohol consumption is something we should all be allowed to do.
Most people don’t know the shocking truth: alcohol causes cancer. Yet in the UK, it accounts for around 17,000 cancer diagnoses every year and causes 7 different cancers.

We urge the Prime Minister Keir Starmer on behalf of the UK Government to act now to save lives.

My students are running a study, asking women what they would find useful in alcohol resources when they're trying to conceive, pregnant, and mums of younger children. There are no restrictions based on how much or how little you drink! Please consider taking part. Thanks!
