Welcome to Eurocare

EUROCARE was formed in 1990 as an alliance of voluntary and non-governmental organisations representing a diversity of views and cultural attitudes and concerned with the impact of the European Union on alcohol policy in Member States.

EUROCARE is an acronym for European Council for Alcohol Research Rehabilitation and Education. At a meeting in Cambridge UK in November of 2003 Eurocare became affiliated to the Global Alcohol Policy Alliance. The European Alcohol Policy Alliance was incorporated into its title.

Starting with 9 member organisations in 1990, it now has 48 member organisations.

Member organisations are involved in the provision of information to the public; education and training of voluntary and professional community care workers; the provision of workplace and school based programmes; counselling services, residential support and alcohol-free clubs for problem drinkers; and research and advocacy institutes.

Some member organisations of EUROCARE work in all of these fields, but most are involved in only one or two areas.
