“Paul Pugh has received a national award at the House of Lords for tackling underage drinking with his Paul’s Pledge campaign.

Paul received the Chairman’s Award from the Community Alcohol Partnership (CAP) chair Derek Lewis.

Mr Lewis said: “Paul visits schools, colleges and youth clubs to raise awareness of the dangers and consequences of alcohol-fuelled violence.
