PUBLIC health professionals are encouraging everyone to take part in Greater Manchester’s Big Alcohol Conversation before the survey closes on Thursday, February 28, 2019.
The online survey will help give as many people as possible the chance to join in the conversation, to help reveal the full truth about alcohol in Greater Manchester.
The survey is anonymous and takes about five minutes to answer the questions, although people who take part have the opportunity to expand on their views if they want to.
The survey can be found here.
