Exeter’s approach demonstrates how partnerships can adapt to meet the needs of different age groups, combining insight, prevention and practical action to create a safer and more supportive night-time environment.

Over the past year, the partnership has delivered a wide range of initiatives designed to reach young people and families in different settings. This includes interactive alcohol education in schools, alongside community outreach and engagement through sports clubs, local events and the night-time economy.

A key initiative was the Community Christmas Movie Night, an alcohol-free event attended by around 150 residents, including approximately 100 young people. Alongside a screening of The Grinch, families took part in craft activities and seasonal celebrations.
