Alternative Programming (non - alcoholic event ideas)

Non-alcoholic events and programming support is one of the main services offered by our organisation. Red Frogs can work with student committees/residential advisors (ra's) to suggest ideas for non-alcoholic social events and activities to run in their colleges throughout the year and offer support during events to ensure success.

With the right ideas alcohol free events can be as, if not more, popular than traditional events. They facilitate incorporation of international students, underage students and non-drinkers; can attract sponsorship; and lesson the risk placed on organisers.

Hints and Tips

●    If student club leaders & residential advisors back the event enthusiastically and encourage participation the rest of your college will be psyched for it too. Talk non-alcoholic events up and set an expectation of awesomeness.

●    The focus of alcohol must be shifted to something else. Centre your events around food or activities so no one notices the lack of booze.

●    Get sponsorship for non-alcoholic events. Your head of college or uni may be keen to sponsor the event to encourage alcohol-free events at your college. Government departments in charge of liquor licensing and health also often get on board to promote non-alcoholic events.

●    Give your Red Frog rep a call! We can help organise events, send a team where you need waiters or judges, help seek sponsorship and prizes and provide buses for activities like coffee crawls depending upon your location. Just ask us and we'll see what we can do for you.
