Choices for life

Every year Pace does a choices for life event in the SECC (Glasgow), Aberdeen Exhibition Centre and the Edinburgh Highland Centre. The show is seen by almost every primary seven pupil in Scotland and conveys a powerful drugs education message. As well as the Pace performance there are also other well known stars that take part in this special event. As of 2011 it was changed to "Choices for Life Online". It is targeted at P7 - S6 pupils.
