‘It’ll Cost You’ – award winning campaign on proxy purchasing relaunches

‘It’ll Cost You’ – award winning campaign on proxy purchasing

Our summer ‘It’ll Cost You’ campaign on proxy purchasing of alcohol, in partnership with SGF and the Scottish Alcohol Industry Partnership (SAIP), is now in full swing. Thank you to everyone taking part this year. Some of the key campaign materials are attached and you can find out more on the website, at: www.itwillcostyou.com

The flagship campaign will run until 12th August. As Chair of the It'll Cost You Steering Group, SGF and partners will be sharing materials online and on social media throughout the of the campaign period. 

Underage drinking plays a huge part in antisocial behaviour, crime and violence in local communities. This campaign aims to reduce the risk of harm and vulnerability to under 18s by cracking down on proxy purchasing through raising awareness of the consequences. It’s a criminal offence to buy alcohol for someone under 18. People who do so could face a fine of up to £5,000 and up to 3 months in prison.

Where possible, please use the Radio Ad in store during the campaign. Digital assets for the campaign, to use in-store or download, are available at: ICY Social Media Assets.
