Online portal for local alcohol projects in UK

The Hub of Commissioned Alcohol Projects and Policies (HubCAPP) has been launched, offering a resource for commissioners and strategic project managers across England. The new online database provides key information on a comprehensive range of alcohol projects, policies and initiatives to help disseminate best practice and share key learnings. HubCAPP has been funded by the Department of Health and will be managed by Alcohol Concern.

Don Shenker, Chief Executive of Alcohol Concern commented:

‘Alcohol professionals already have a fairly well developed library of guidance documents available to them. HubCAPP has the potential to make the development of new strategies a more dynamic and collaborative process than it has been before. We invite local partnerships to view the time spent submitting their own strategies as an investment. Not only will it help build a valuable mass of information, but it also presents a good opportunity to put some critical distance between them and the decisions they’ve taken to date’.
