A SUPERMARKET and drink education charity teamed up for an event.

Asda in Tilbury and Drinkaware, the alcohol education charity, worked together to provide free information and advice on alcohol to the community.

The event, which showcased a Drinkaware stand set-up at the store, gave customers the opportunity to access friendly advice and to ask questions.

Customers were able to learn about the effects of alcohol.

Jackie Doyle-Price, MP for Thurrock visited the store to show her support.

Chris Lowe, senior director for corporate affairs at Asda, said: “We are pleased to have worked with Drinkaware again this year, as part of our role as a responsible retailer, helping them to engage directly with our customers.”
