We're already in August which means that Freshers' Week is just around the corner. If you're getting ready to head off to university in a few weeks, or your child/friends/family member is, then you might be worried about the drinking culture. Well, you'll be pleased to know that it's changing and that universities, unions, AND students are starting to do their bit to encourage healthy habits and mindful attitudes toward alcohol.

This year we're running a campaign with Bournemouth University to encourage mindful drinking using positive language, practical tips, a mindful pub crawl, fun-hipster-pop-up events, and low & no-alcohol drinks. We'll be sharing more info about the campaign in a couple of weeks but in the meantime, scroll on down for this week's inspiring story from second-year student Anna.
