About us
The Alcohol & Drug Service is a charity (Registered Charity 1108595; and a Company Limited by Guarantee, Company No. 05375809). The majority of our funding comes through contracts with statutory commissioners such as Local Authorities and the NHS, but we receive valuable income from charitable grants and individual fundraising efforts which supports many of our most innovative services. We are governed by a Board of Trustees.
We ensure that the organisation is run well and we are a part of the Investors in People scheme, a quality framework which is independently audited.
But, even though we've been transforming the lives of people affected by drugs or alcohol misuse for over 40 years, some people may not have heard of us. This is because we always work in partnership and often deliver our services and projects which have their own names/identities.
