It is hard to believe that another Christmas is almost upon us. 2021 has not been the year that many of us hoped, with uncertainty and challenges faced by every one of us.
For families supporting a loved one that uses alcohol or drugs 2021 has been an even more difficult time. Families have told us that the pandemic left them feeling more isolated, more anxious and more alone.
We are here when they need us, the only national charity in Scotland providing expert support for those affected by the consequences of someone else’s drug or alcohol use.
We know that when families come together great things happen. This year we are still limited in being together in person, but it is still so important that we share these messages of connection, strength and hope.
We have created a virtual tree of hope. We invite you to add a star or a light to this tree, making a dedication of hope to whoever you wish (you can also remain anonymous). We believe that #changewillcome and we will continue our work supporting families and campaigning for better recognition of all they do.
Every donation we receive will help our work in 2022.
Thank you.
