In our last post you met Matt, who is sharing his own experiences of drugs and alcohol to help young people as part of our Resilience Programme for Schools. And this #VolunteersWeek we're celebrating him, and everyone who helps our Foundation to do such important work. Thank you Matt!

Today we were devastated to hear that our dear friend Paul Danan has passed away. He always championed our work, and volunteered as part of our Resilience Programme. Here he is on our programme launch day in 2013, with some of our volunteers. Such a beautiful soul. RIP Pauly ❤️x

This week we’ve seen great engagement from yrs 7, 8 & 9 pupils at Sandymoor Ormiston Academy in #Runcorn. Our volunteer Sarah shared her personal experience of #addiction starting with #nicotine from a young age. Pupils then participated in smaller workshops to understand issues around #vaping.

As #AddictionAwarenessWeek2024 ends, we want you to know that it's never too late to ask for support. And also, it's never too early. If you feel you can't reach out for help because you're too young — you can. People will listen. People will help. #recoveryispossible

And with our friends and partners @ActionAddiction @NacoaUK, @Kaleidoscope68, Visible Recovery, @PhoenixFutures, FAVOR UK, Steps2recovery2 and ForwardTrust we'll be working to remove the stigma and shame which prevents people from getting the help they deserve.

So over the next 7 days we'll be sharing links, advice and personal stories from young people who also felt that way. And who've since found a life free of drugs and alcohol.

We're very proud to be part of this year's #AddictionAwarenessWeek2024 — and to let you know that recovery from drug and alcohol problems is possible for EVERYONE. No matter how young or old they are.
