Supporting Alcohol Change UK
At the library, we believe in the power of information and community. That’s why we’re highlighting the work of Alcohol Change UK, a charity helping people rethink their relationship with alcohol without judgment.
Whether you’re cutting back, supporting someone else, or just curious, they offer tools like the Try Dry® app, expert advice, and honest, practical support.
We’ve also got books, and resources here in the library to help you explore health, wellbeing, and alcohol in a safe and supportive way.

A Roadmap to a Smokefree Country: New Report Calls for Bold Action
The All-Party Parliamentary Group on Smoking and Health has released its 2025 report, A Roadmap to a Smokefree Country, outlining urgent steps to end smoking in the UK within a generation. Central to the plan is a proposed ‘polluter pays’ levy on tobacco companies, aiming to raise £700 million annually to fund cessation programs and reduce health inequalities. The report also recommends stricter regulations on youth vaping and a cap on tobacco industry profits. With smoking remaining a leading cause of preventable illness and death, the report urges all political parties to commit to a fully funded, long-term strategy to make smoking obsolete.

Lunch and Learn
Recovery college and wellbeing
Thank you to everyone who attended our May lunch and learn session with Suzie Smith who talked us through what goes on in the recovery college. She discussed the importance of working with NHS volunteers and how people can get involved with the college. There are a wide range of courses held for free by the college focusing on both mental health aspects and life skills (how to cope financially with the rising costs of living). If you or anyone you know may be interested then make sure you get in touch with Suzie or the Recovery College. They are open Monday to Friday 9-4:30 and are based at Minerva in Deepdale.
If you would like to catch up on the session, please feel free to watch our recording here:
