Ahead of Alcohol Awareness Week, the Rev Canon Kate Bottley travels to Preston to learn about the temperance movement, which began life in the north west of England in the Victorian era. We join the successors to an original children’s temperance society, who are continuing to bring opportunities to young people through alcohol-and-drugs education courses.

In Burnley, YolanDa Brown meets a local pastor, whose journey to sobriety brought her into a deeper connection with her faith. And Kate has a chance to try some alcohol-free cocktails, catching up with the regulars at the country’s oldest surviving temperance bar.

With music for worship and performances from across the country, including:

What a Friend We Have in Jesus – Albert Hall, Nottingham
Abide with Me – Glasgow Cathedral
Bridge over Troubled Water – Rock Choir
In Christ Alone – St Cuthbert's Church, Carlisle
I Want Jesus to Walk with Me – Vocal Creation
Lord Of All Hopefulness – Hereford Cathedral
