Bacardi Brown-Forman Brands, Diageo, Heineken and Molson Coors pledge half a million pounds to further bolster Best Bar None scheme
LONDON 10 MAY 2011: Bacardi Brown-Forman Brands, Diageo, Heineken and Molson Coors today announced half a million pounds worth of funding for the Best Bar None scheme to help tackle alcohol related crime. This investment will help to guarantee the future of the Best Bar None programme which works with bars and pubs across England and Wales to promote responsible management.
The £500,000 investment pledged by the leading drinks companies will support the next stage of Best Bar None’s development over three years. In particular it will fund the set-up of twenty new Best Bar None schemes across the country, especially in disadvantaged areas, along with strengthening existing schemes. The drinks industry partners are working with the Government and other stakeholders to include their commitment to Best Bar None as an additional pledge for The Responsibility Deal.
Best Bar None is a national award programme which promotes responsible management and operation of alcohol licensed premises. It aims to reduce alcohol related crime and disorder in town centres right across the country. In particular it provides a framework for training on enforcing proof of age policies, along with building relationships between the licensed trade, police and local authorities to reduce crime and improve safety. The programme is supported by the Home Office and British Institute of Innkeeping (BII), the professional body for the licensed retail sector, as well as the drinks industry.
