Who are we?! We have paid staff, students and volunteers. Our staff teams at different points in time vary from former drug users, ex offenders, social workers, youth worker all employed under the charity's confidentiality code. All staff (paid or unpaid) are here not to judge you by your drug use or the consequences, they are here to support and advise you. We won't make decisions for you!

Our premises are discreetly located in Wythenshawe Civic Centre - the entrance is a communal entrance - so no-one knows where you are going! You can ask us questions by e-mail, ring us or visit us.

We advise on the potential physical and psychological related problems associated with drug misuse, how to safely reduce and/or stop. How to reduce the harm associated with your drug use, where to access help for problems associated with your substance misuse, how to access other relevant services e.g. housing, sexual health clinics etc. Plus how to cope with a drug free and crime free lifestyle - help you make the changes to make your future enjoyable and rewarding… It can be done!

We also work in partnership on strategic issues affecting our community by participating in various forums looking at regeneration, healthier communities and within the framework of Manchester's Community Safety Strategy and Manchester Drug & Alcohol Teams' annual plan.
