Alcohol Focus Scotland is the national charity working to prevent and reduce alcohol-related harm. We aim to reduce the impact of alcohol on individuals, families, communities and Scotland as a whole, through the implementation of effective alcohol control policies and legislation. We want to see fewer people have their health damaged or lives cut short due to alcohol, fewer children and families suffering as a result of other people's drinking, and communities free from alcohol-related crime and violence. Our work involves: • Communicating news, information, research findings and briefings • Gathering evidence of the harm caused by alcohol and influencing key decision makers by advocating for effective policy • Developing learning opportunities and resources to support best practice

The OLLIE Foundation (One Life Lost is Enough) is a charity funding suicide intervention skills training for adults and organisations (including schools) working with young people. This training enables people (regardless of prior experience or training) to identify warning signs and provide a pathway to help combat suicidal thoughts. The OLLIE Foundation was set up by three parents who lost their children to suicide. It is devoted to stopping teenagers and young people from taking their own lives.
