Together with our colleagues at BBC Three Counties Radio and Bedfordshire's Alcohol Services for the Community (asc for short!) we're giving you the opportunity to assess your own alcohol intake and embark on a healthier lifestyle for 2005. asc aim to 'promote a healthier lifestyle without reliance on alcohol or other drugs'. They were established in 1979, and are an independent agency specialising in alcohol use and abuse. With their base in Luton, they operate throughout the county of Bedfordshire.

the james kingham project (jkp) Here, you can spend time talking to one of the workers on a regular basis or just drop-in during ‘open-house’ to have a cup of tea and a chat. You are free to discuss your own drinking (but please arrive alcohol-free!) or receive support if you’re worried about someone close to you. This is all free and confidential and in a pleasant, comfortable setting.
