Recovery reduces the social, health, employment and economic costs of substance abuse. This is why the Alcohol & Drug Service is here. Thank you for supporting us. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~If you know someone who is struggling with substance misuse, they are notalone. Right now, more than 1.1 million men and women are dependent on alcohol.The decision to change and get help can be very difficult. The Alcohol & Drug Service supports people through this stage.We’re funded by individual fundraising efforts, charitable grants and the NHS. Even though we’ve been transforming the lives of people affected by drugs or alcohol misuse for over 30 years, some people may not have heard of us. This is because we always work in partnership – and often deliver our services which have their own names. Our services are also known as: The East Riding Partnership - The East Riding; Foundations - North East Lincolnshire and ASPIRE - Doncaster.But whatever the projects are called, we are focused on supporting people who want to make a positive change.

Land has been purchased for the buildings, and initial plans for accommodation blocks and a schoolroom drawn up, so work can commence as soon as we have the money available.  Please see our photo gallery for more pictures of the orphans, and our partner in the project Judith Babirye, a well known gospel singer in Uganda.
