Committee No. 4
"Question 2. Would the Fellowship discuss, share experience and make recommendations on the best way to carry the message to the homeless (rough sleeper) alcoholic?
Background
- According to studies approximately 40% of people who have slept rough have an alcohol problem (CHAIN -'Combined Homelessness and Information Network' report, June 2013, figures also used by Government)
- Most alcoholic drinks are labelled with drinkaware.co.uk which has details on AA but most rough sleepers don't have internet access.
- Not all rough sleepers will make it to a hostel where information on AA may be provided.
- Most rough sleepers don't have a GP."
