SHEFFIELD SHORTLISTED FOR ‘BEST OVERALL SCHEME’ IN BEST BAR NONE AWARDS competition from Tower Hamlets and Torbay, as to which scheme has had the biggest overall impact in its community in the last 12 months. There have been a record nine regional finalists announced ahead of this instalment of the awards, with each of the three categories, Best Overall Scheme, Most Innovative Scheme and Best New Scheme, seeing a year on year increase in the number of successful entries. Sheffield is one of the UK’s longest running and successful Best Bar None schemes and over the last year, the city has continued to be at the forefront of innovation

and good practice. The scheme was integral in the development of the new BBN app, which has subsequently been rolled out across seven other regions. Tracey Ford, Scheme Coordinator for Sheffield, said: “We have really focussed on offering support, sharing good practice and developing in other areas this year – for example our continued work to combat sexual harassment on nights out by launching ‘Ask for Angela’, where customers can subtly alert trained staff if they are feeling threatened by someone. “Winning the national award would be a significant achievement

for us, and would mean a lot, to not only the licensed premises in Sheffield, but also all of our stakeholders who absolutely deserve recognition for sustaining the scheme over the past eleven years.” Lord Smith of Hindhead, Philip Smith, Chairman of Best Bar None, said: “It is always fantastic to see such a good turnout for our annual awards. I want to highlight the importance of commending those schemes that are doing such a wonderful job. The impact that Best Bar None has in towns and cities today - making them safer and more desirable places to go - is relevant and valuable to the entire

The Sheffield Best Bar None scheme has been shortlisted for the ‘Best Overall Scheme’ in the prestigious Best Bar None Awards, it has been announced. The next round of judging will take place in January, before the winner is announced at a ceremony held in the House of Lords on Tuesday 4th February 2020. This is the second year running Sheffield has made it through to the final stages of judging, being recognised as ‘Highly Commended’ after narrowly missing out to Plymouth in last year’s awards. This year the region faces

Hospitality Industry and it is everyone on the ground who we have to thank for that. “It is particularly encouraging to see Sheffield back in the finals this year. We look only at the previous 12 months when judging the category, so it just goes to show that they are continuing to maximise their impact on the local community and maintaining strong and proactive relationships with their local authorities, that we see them here today.” Best Bar None is a Home Office-backed scheme that sees the alcohol industry working collaboratively with local authorities and the police to promote responsible drinking and higher professional licensing standards in bars, pubs, clubs and restaurants.
