Covid has been so difficult for the people we help. Kids have been stuck in their rooms and made to just sit there idly. It s been absolutely terrible. They re becoming addicted to online pornography, gambling and alcohol as young as 14. It s awful. They re some of the hidden victims in all of this. In the first lockdown we stopped running our workshops because at that point the pandemic was an unknown entity and we had to think about protecting staff. But by the next lockdown we were acutely aware of its devastating impact and the fact that so many people we help had relapsed. We ended up staying open throughout the second and third shutdown, operating with PPE, lateral flow testing and social distancing.

DRY January is set to begin, and if you are thinking of taking part this year, a vital service is offering advice and support to those who are struggling to kick the habit. For some, Dry January will be a fun New Year s resolution or something to try with their friends. But for others the process of giving up alcohol is a challenging one to turn their lives around, and there won t be any need for anyone to face that challenge alone. Ged Pickersgill, project development manager at Barrow-based third-sector anti-addiction group,said: January seems like a very long month, so if I think I m just not going to drink today , and if I can successfully navigate today without drinking then I ll wake up tomorrow and do the same.
