Grants from the National Lottery Community Fund and Partners for Health (a union of London Catalyst and the Hospital Saturday Fund) are making a massive difference to those who need our help.
The Partners for Health grant has provided funds for our much-needed counselling service that helps those struggling with drugs and alcohol to find abstinence. These are often people who are falling through the cracks in society or stuck in the system.
We offer up to 26-weeks of counselling for clients, who also get partnered with one of our peer supporters with lived experience of addiction.
Money from the National Lottery Community Fund supports our counselling efforts and the costs needed to run the charity on a daily basis. As we start to get bigger, albeit cautiously, our running costs are also increasing.
Sean Robinson, CEO, said: “I’m so grateful for these grants. They are our lifeline and mean we can continue to keep helping those struggling with drugs and alcohol – a desperate existence – to find productive and fulfilling lives.”.
