Sober October
17 October 2025

Not everyone at the bar is there for the alcohol. Some are choosing 0% options, soft drinks, or simply enjoying the night without drinking — and that’s perfectly valid 💙

This #SoberOctober, let’s break the stigma and stop the beerpreasure. Whether it’s for health, personal choice, or just because — everyone deserves the same respect and good vibes.

If anyone wants to do sober October in aid of HURT get in touch 02871369696 or rebecca@hurtni.org

🙌 Support your friends, celebrate their choice, and remember: good times aren’t measured in units.

👉 Watch our video to see why it matters to make nights out inclusive for everyone.
