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:
Figures show cost of works at Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital
Section of former Ramsey Bakery site could become a motorcycle shop
Cyber security event to take place later this year
Warning after drone reported flying over farm
French tall ship returns to the sea
