Drink Wise Age Well is a pioneering multi level, integrated programme that aims to change behaviour and reduce alcohol related harm in the over 50’s population. It is very much a community based engagement service based on the principles of co-production.
The 5 year Programme is Big Lottery funded with 2 years additional research. Drink Wise Age Well is a national Programme with Cwm Taf one of five demonstration areas across the UK.
The partner organisations delivering the Programme locally are Barod who are the lead organisation, along with Kaleidoscope, TEDS, WCADA and The Royal Voluntary Service.
