One asset that exists in all communities are willing volunteers with specific interests. CICA trains local volunteers who are interested in becoming &#8216;Alcohol Health Champions&#8217; or AHCs. Alcohol Health Champions provide brief advice about alcohol to friends, family and colleagues and are also part of a local team who can help influence decision making around alcohol licensing. All AHCs who complete the training satisfactorily are awarded a Level 2 RSPH qualification. Alcohol Health Champions alongside Local Leads developed and contributed to a short documentary which describes the early stages of rolling out this intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">Watch this 16 minute documentary to hear more about becoming an alcohol health champion and to hear some of our champion&#8217;s inspiring stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Communities in Charge of Alcohol\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9AkGv_krNjI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">In this short video filmed at our conference in 2019, we gained great contributions from a range of people involved in CICA including Lee, an alcohol health champion from Manchester.
