Alcohol Research UK is a new national charity that has taken over the work of the Alcohol Education and Research Council. Our vision is to reduce the harm caused by excessive alcohol consumption, by ensuring that policy and practice can always be developed on the basis of robust scientific evidence.
We do this by funding new research, either alone (using the income from our £13 million endowment fund) or in partnership with other organisations. We then disseminate the findings.
We have ambitious plans for the future, which include funding a lot more research, ensuring that our research is important to policy and practice, creating a practical evidence-base on research into alcohol harm and significantly raising our profile and influence. Ultimately, we want policymakers (e.g. the Government) and practioners (e.g. doctors) to regard us the UK’s foremost source of information on research into alcohol related harm.
We want to appoint up to four new trustees who can bring the skills and experience that will help us achieve those plans. > > > > Read More
