A huge fundraising effort – and the generosity of corporate donors – means it’ll be business as usual for the Island's confidential drug counselling service DASH.
Earlier this year the Drugs Advice Service and Helpline lost £100,000 of government funding and the Department of Health said it would partner with the Alcohol Advisory Service to provide addiction services.
DASH Director Shelly Stanley says despite the blow, the organisation will continue offering advice and support to drug users and their families.
She says DASH achieves great things on the Island:
New EV charging points planned for Island's ports
Campaigners against offshore windfarm proposals hit out at 'undemocratic' process
Visitors told to prepare for new ETA rules
Crews respond to shed fire in Greeba
Is 'inter-generational home sharing' the solution to the loneliness epidemic and housing crisis?
