Supporting People In Croydon

If this campaign has prompted you to think differently about alcohol, that's exactly what prevention is about. Whether you're simply curious, thinking about cutting back or looking for specialist support, help is available in Croydon.

Information & wellbeing

Arclett delivers alcohol prevention that encourages earlier reflection and informed choices. While our role is to help start conversations before harm escalates, we are not a treatment or support service. If you would like further advice or support, Croydon offers a range of local services alongside trusted national organisations that can help.

  • If you’re ready to cut down on how much alcohol you drink, then Live Well Croydon can help.  Live Well Croydon offers a free 12 week programme designed to help Croydon residents improve their health and wellbeing. Their advisers are trained in helping people tackle unhealthy habits, which could be having a negative impact on their daily life or affecting relationships with family and friends.  If you have struggled in making these changes in the past, their Live Well programme can help you to succeed this time. 

    You can find more information on their service here: Live alcohol aware | Croydon Council.
