The Advisory Board is a strategic sounding board for the Alcohol Impact pilot, providing NUS with advice to enable it to:
• maximise the impact and success of the pilot;
• identify, and react to, strategic barriers and opportunities in the short,
medium and long-term;
• identify, and develop, influential and effective strategic partnerships for
the Programme;
• develop a strong legacy plan beyond the pilot.

Representatives for the board were selected by the NUS, in consultation with the Home Office, to provide a cross-section of groups who have expertise in a project that combines alcohol and the night-time economy, crime, higher education and community interests.

In addition to officials from the NUS and Home Office, 19 external advisors form the NUS Alcohol Impact Advisory Board.

They are representatives of:
• Association of Managers of Student Services in Higher Education
• Association of University Directors of Estates
• Addaction
• Portman Group
• Association of Town and City Management
• British Universities and Colleges Sport
• Research and Analysis
• Leeds University Union
• Universities UK
