Incredibly powerful, insightful & interesting listen - open.spotify.com/episode/29cY59… Amazing @DonnachieA95115 & Nichole who interview Tom Bennett on all things Human Rights. The power that comes from knowing & understanding your rights can't be underestimated! Give it a listen & share 💜

A pleasure to talk about Scottish Recovery Consortium's work on #rightsinrecovery and it's fundamental relevance in empowering and supporting families.

In Scotland, the GMB union have been vocal in calling for the proposed increase in the MUP threshold from 50p to 65p to be scrapped, on the basis that this is a 30% rise, while wages and disposable incomes have risen by barely 1% since 2018. But wait... gmbscotland.org.uk/newsroom/gmb-s…

New inflation figures, no change to the fact that alcohol prices have risen more slowly than other goods during the cost-of-living crisis.

"Recovery is not a passive state – it is about human transformation and growth that will often involve overcoming not only physical and psychological withdrawals and cravings but also negative social attitudes, stigma and discrimination." leedstrinity.ac.uk/blog/blog-post…

A cracking couple of days working with staff and volunteers Alcohol&Drugs Action and Aberdeen in Recovery to go through Medication Recovery and Me facilitator training on Monday and Rights in Recovery on Tuesday. What an amazing bunch! Excited to see the impact and to continue to support.

Essential reading for all those trying to make sense of the impact of #MUPsaveslives on inequalities and the misleading GMB claim that raising the price to 65ppu is disproportionate👇

I'm on leave at the moment, but I'm so incredibly proud of my colleagues who made this work happen - esp Carlyn @AnnieKSmith1 - and to Tom Bennett and all the fantastic people on this programme. I was recently asked what gives me hope in our work on human rights and it's THIS ⏬️

I'll be there too, come along and join the conversation!

Tomorrow, Scottish Parliament will be voting on the future of MUP In our new infographic, we outline why they must vote to ✅ continue MUP beyond the end of April ✅ increase MUP to 65p per unit from 30 September Read the infographic 🔽 alcohol-focus-scotland.org.uk/media/941975/m…

Great to be in Dunoon taking part in today's event with lots of impressive discussions around the Draft Charter of Rights Consultation with ailsa mccrae Louise Stewart Lomond & Argyll Advocacy Service Argyll and Bute Scottish Recovery Consortium

I'm looking forward to seeing and speaking to as many people as possible at these two events. Let's make the voice of lived experience and recovery is heard loud and clear.

“People have this perception that introducing children to drinking is a good way of teaching them safer drinking. This is untrue. The earlier a child drinks, the more likely they are to develop problems with alcohol in later life.” - Dr Katherine Severi theguardian.com/society/2024/a…
