Dry January – Support the team on Just Giving
January 22, 2021
2020 has been a challenging year for colleagues across the Trust so why not start 2021 by joining in with Dry January!
Dry January is the annual movement through which millions of people across the country make the pledge to give up alcohol from 1 January until the end of the month.
Taking part in Dry January is a chance to ditch the hangover, reduce your waistline, boost your energy and save some serious money, while doing your physical health a lot of good and also improving your overall mental health and wellbeing.
Longer term, there are far more health benefits that come from cutting back your alcohol consumption including the lowering of your blood pressure and cholesterol, and reducing the risk of diabetes and cancer related proteins in your blood.
If you’re taking part in Dry January this year the alcohol team have a Just Giving page where you can donate, share and be a part of Dry January. The funds raised will go towards a FibroScan van. FibroScans are specialised ultrasounds that can measure liver scarring and fatty changes. The van will enable us to promote alcohol reduction and prevent liver disease in the local community and in our Trust. Click here to find out more and visit the page!
