Director says charity is trusted and confidential
The director of a drugs, alcohol and gambling support service says it is a trusted and confidential service.
North Douglas MHK John Houghton has criticised the closure of the charity DASH - the Drug and Alcohol Advisory Service - and claims that Motiv8 doesn't offer a confidential service or focus attention on problems experienced by children.
However, Thea Ozenturk says this just isn't the case and Mr Houghton has his facts wrong:
