Today is International Day of Charity and as a local charity, we rely on the support from donors and funders to continue our mission of reducing the harm caused by alcohol and drugs.

Substance use can quickly become problematic, which will have a detrimental effect on the mental and physical health of the individual using alongside potentially devastating effects on those surrounding that person too, which is why we want to make sure people can make informed choices, be aware of the risks, offer support, advice and training to individuals, families and young people on substances and help those in recovery continue their journeys.
