Subject - Lime Juice to put the Squeeze on Teenage Drinking

Posted : (Thursday 2nd November 2006 ) By - Jane (Registered User)Lime has been awarded a major grant by Comic Relief to run a project addressing alcohol misuse in young people in Greater Manchester.

Lime, the Cultural Development Team of the Central Manchester and Manchester Children’s University Hospitals NHS Trust, will receive £87,500 over three years to finance the young people-led project.

Called Juice, the project will involve 150 young people from Greater Manchester who are experiencing alcohol misuse. It will encourage peer-learning and film-production skills and will explore the issues through drama, writing, music and film production.
