A survey conducted among hundreds of secondary age students participating in the Action Cancer Health Action programme, which is supported by Centra, found that before taking part in the scheme one in six teenagers thought it was acceptable to binge drink,. After taking part in the programme the number making this statement almost halved.
Zoe McCartney (17) from Carryduff, right, a student at East Down Institute’s Downpatrick Campus took part in the survey – she is joined Action Cancer Health Promotion Officer Gareth Beattie and Centra Brand Manager Nicky Kelly to sample some healthy drink options from a local Centra store’s smoothie bar.
