Taking Action on Addiction is a campaign to improve understanding of addiction and end the stigma that surrounds it.
We are calling for addiction to be treated as a serious mental health condition and for increased access to support so that recovery can be possible for everyone.
This year's campaign theme is 'Everybody Knows Somebody'
It's back and this year we're striving to achieve more than ever - building on the momentum of previous years with an exciting roster of activities and events. Join us!
This inspiring, heartfelt and emotional event - held live at The Brink, Liverpool - was recorded on 2nd November 2023. Hosted by Bryony Gordon, this incredible live event featured special guests with their own stories of recovery and addiction, alongside an exclusive musical performance by Liverpool legend, Dave McCabe and James 'Jay' Lewis
