information SERVICE DETAILS

Our specialist team provides a confidential service to young people who care for, or are affected by a parent or family member with problematic drug and/or alcohol use. These young people have access to all of our services – one to one support, taking part in fun activities and trips away and also more specialised support.

Many young people affected by drug and alcohol use can face obstacles to learning, eating well, self care and forming healthy friendships. Families may also experience more difficulty with finances and keeping safe. To help support these young people, we run regular sessions focusing on core skills such as reading, learning to swim and ride a bike, co-ordination skills and cookery classes.

We can also help to find families the right social and financial support and provide clothing grants for young people through our funders.
