News today of a plan to set a minimum price for a unit of alcohol in Scotland has been welcomed by AFS, who have been campaigning for it for a number of years. The pdf of their annual report 2007-08 shows they have been lobbying for the idea of minimum price for some time.
Jack Law, chief executive of Alcohol Focus Scotland, said: "Change won't happen overnight. But the combined efforts of government, health and police services, the alcohol industry, licensed trade and the voluntary sector should ensure significantly fewer Scots' lives are affected by alcohol misuse."The information available for Scottish charities isn't readily available on the internet however this exchange from the Scottish Executive from 2002 seems to suggest a level of Government funding that is unmatched by public donations. Link that also with their close ties to the Scottish Executive and also the Scottish NHS and a picture, similar to so many fake charities, forms.
