Awareness Days

As organisations across the UK begin 2026, Dry January returns as a powerful reset for health, reflection, and sustainable behaviour change. Led by Alcohol Change UK, Dry January 2026 encourages people to go alcohol-free for the month, not as a test of willpower, but as an opportunity to pause, reassess habits, and prioritise well-being after the festive period.

In this blog, Anna Nova Galeon explores what Dry January 2026 means beyond individual choice, and how organisations can support healthier cultures by embedding well-being initiatives into governance, workforce training, and compliance systems through ComplyPlus™.
