Nick Tegerdine, Executive Director of apas, clarifies a few myths. I get asked almost every day what the organisation does, where we get the money from, and why do we have the right to exist. Sometimes these questions are put in a less than friendly way, so this month I’d like to take the opportunity to put a few things straight. Firstly, apas is a registered charity and a company limited by guarantee. For the avoidance of doubt I am not a charity myself. Our staff are highly trained professional people who all know that the worst thing that you can do about a drinking problem is nothing. The charity is a membership organisation. Anyone can become a member. The membership elect the policy making body, the ‘Board’, who are also the trustees of the charity. Many of our members are people who have themselves experienced alcohol related problems, or who are close to someone who has. The membership is a powerful constituency and are involved in meaningful dialogue with the policy makers who are concerned not to ban drinking, but to reduce the harm that results from the excesses of individuals and the excesses of some elements within the drinks industry. The charity provides services under contract to local authorities, primary care trusts (health authorities), prisons and probation, housing providers, and to employers. We are efficient and effective. If we weren’t we would not get renewed contracts and we would not get such consistently excellent customer feedback. We operate from two city centre buildings, at Park Row and at Standard Hill, as well as a number of satellite venues. If anyone wants to come and see for themselves, just let me know. You will be made very welcome. One CAMRA member did just that recently and was surprised at the scale of the operation. Two part-timers with a typewriter in a back street office we are not! We deal with some 600 new contacts every month and a service on that scale requires considerable resource. The ‘front door’ to the service is the telephone helpline, the Alcoline. This is the ‘front door’ to advice, information, counselling and other treatment options, including medical services. It’s open until seven in the evening, and on Saturdays. There are many add-on initiatives, including training schemes, interventions in prisons, support for family members, and even a lead role in the Best Bar None scheme in 2008. I could write much more, but the most important messages are these: Remember that contempt for something without knowing the facts is an indicator of an addictive disorder; and The worst thing that you can do if you or someone you know has a problem is nothing. We have much in common with the aims of CAMRA. We are not anti-drink, we opposed to the development of the marketing that creates crime and disorder, ill health, and which leads to the loss of local jobs and local traditions. Why not come and say hello? Quiz: We have extended our Alcoline service due to increased demand. The question is: which former TV broadcaster is the first voice on our telephone system?
