“Students and staff across 10 of Ireland’s third level institutions have been recognised for their efforts to reduce harm experienced by students from excessive alcohol consumption with a UCC-led programme. Developed in 2015 by UCC Health Matters — in collaboration with the Union of Students in Ireland and the Irish Student Health Association, and jointly funded by the HSE and the philanthropic Tomar Trust — REACT is an awards and accreditation scheme for third-level institutions, which have implemented an action plan in partnership with their students and student leaders to campaign to reduce alcohol damage.” Source: Courses.ie
