Become an Alcohol Advocate

Lived experience is extremely important to AFS and is powerful to help create change.

Sometimes, we get contacted by the media or host events where people with lived experience’s views and stories are extremely valuable.

Whether you have lived experience, are a family member or friend of someone with or in recovery from an alcohol problem, or work with people impacted by alcohol, we would be delighted to work with you as an Alcohol Advocate. AFS can provide support and training to anyone who has no previous experience of speaking to the media or speaking at events.

Please note that as an Alcohol Advocate, you will not be speaking on behalf of AFS directly. We are here to support you to share your story and/or views effectively and with care.

Below, Rod Anderson, Chief Recovery Officer with Recovery Coaching Scotland, shares his experience of speaking at an AFS event:
