Safe, Sensible and Social Small Grants projects

EBC has been lucky enough to secure several separate grants from this funding stream, set up by the NHS South of Tyne and Wear. 

Funding has led to EBC deliverying several separate, but interlinked, activities including creation of free downloadable resources designed to raise awareness of the dangers of alcohol misuse.  To find our more visit our Safe, Sensible and Social page.
