MCG Addiction Awareness Series
Building Recovery-Informed Workplaces Across the Corporate World.
The national conversation is changing.
“Addiction is not a choice or a personal failing but a complex mental health condition that should be met with empathy and support.”
-The Princess of Wales, message marking Addiction Awareness Week 2025 (shared via The Forward Trust)
70% of people with a substance use disorder are in work.

At MCG Consulting, we specialise in addiction awareness, recovery-informed inclusion, and driving workplace culture change. Our flagship Addiction Awareness Series empowers organisations to create safer, more inclusive environments through powerful storytelling and sector-specific insights.
​
Addiction remains one of the most urgent and often overlooked issues in the workplace. Our series opens honest conversations, reduces stigma, and helps employers support their teams in practical, lasting ways.

Pricing (2026)
We price our work based on the format, audience and preparation required, rather than firm size. This keeps delivery high quality and lets us tailor properly for your people, risk profile and culture. For most clients, this sits within their wider investment in wellbeing, inclusion and performance.
Typical fees (excluding VAT)
-
Talk (60 minutes including Q&A): typically £8,500 to £12,500
-
Workshop (90 to 120 minutes, interactive): typically £12,500 to £18,500
-
Three-part Addiction Awareness Series (3 sessions): typically £27,000 to £36,000
Every engagement includes a pre-brief, risk-managed facilitation, and follow-up resources. Optional add-ons include a second lived-experience speaker, leader briefings, firm-branded manager toolkits, and internal replay licensing.
Access and reduced-fee delivery (limited, case by case)
We want this conversation to reach the widest possible range of organisations. We hold a small number of reduced-fee slots each year for organisations with genuine budget constraints, assessed against clear criteria. Separately, we keep some capacity for charitable and community partners we choose to support. If budget is a concern, please get in touch and we will propose an option that fits.
What we can do at lower cost:
For smaller organisations, we can deliver a shorter online session, bring multiple offices together in a single session, or run a focused workshop for managers and wellbeing champions to maximise impact.
Logistics:
VAT is added. Travel and accommodation are charged for in-person delivery outside London. Once a date is confirmed and held in our diary, we issue an invoice with 30-day payment terms from the date of booking.
Tell us your audience, preferred format and timeline, and we will come back with a clear, fixed fee.
