Serving a diverse food menu and boasting a selection of creatively titled non-alcoholic drinks, the Brink puts all of its profits back into the community to support those suffering from alcoholism and addiction. The Brink was a stop on Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton's solo St. Patrick's day schedule to highlight her patronage of Action on Addiction. The lounge aims to fill the void of alcohol-free locales for friends to meet up and hang out, and organizes events including a film club and band nights in order to engage the community. **Contact Information** The Brink Liverpool [website](http://thebrinkliverpool.com/) The Brink Liverpool on [Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Brink-Liverpool/275231582516604) The Brink Liverpool on [Twitter](http://twitter.com/BrinkLiverpool) Action on Addiction [website](http://www.actiononaddiction.org.uk) ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 22% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Social Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialbusiness) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Alcohol-free Social Spaces:** Creating alcohol-free environments for socializing and connecting, offering opportunities for innovative non-alcoholic beverages. - **Recovery Social Enterprises:** Developing businesses that support individuals recovering from addiction, providing employment and community engagement. - **Profit-driven Philanthropy:** Establishing businesses that reinvest profits back into the community, contributing to social causes and initiatives. ### Who This Affects Most - **Hospitality:** Creating alcohol-free bars and social spaces where people can gather and enjoy themselves without alcohol. - **Rehabilitation and Recovery Services:** Providing support services, resources, and employment opportunities for individuals recovering from addiction. - **Non-profit/charitable Organizations:** Establishing social enterprises that generate profits to further support community initiatives and address social issues. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Premium Non-Alcoholic Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mocktail-club.md) - [Zero-Proof Catering Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zero-proof-catering.md) - [Botanical Alcohol-Free Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonalcoholic-bold-botanical-drinks.md) - [Alcohol-Free Members Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/maze-nyc.md) - [Dry January Takeovers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nonalcoholic-cocktails.md) - [Alcohol-Free Members Clubs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcohol-free-members-club.md) - [Whimsical Booze-Free Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everything-but-the-booze.md) - [Alcohol Alternative Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/free-af.md) - [Non-Alcoholic Steakhouse Cocktails](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alcohol-free-cocktails.md)
