Funding application process launched by alcohol and drugs partnership

The Outer Hebrides Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) is currently looking for expressions of interest/applications from organisations who would be able to assist in the delivery of services to support people with drug and alcohol issues in their recovery, and to support people, families and children affected by drug and alcohol issues.

The Partnership is able to offer funding for this service delivery for July 2011 through to March 2012 and maximum bids of £25,000 are invited.

Applicants should ensure that potential projects are linked to the Outer Hebrides ADP strategic priorities of Early Years and Early Intervention.

• Early Years work should target children affected by parental substance misuse to ensure children and family members of people misusing alcohol and drugs are safe, well supported and have improved life chances.

• Early Intervention work should target adults and children who are drinking or using drugs at levels or patterns that are damaging to themselves or others and aim at a reduction in the prevalence of harmful levels of drug and alcohol use through prevention, changing social attitudes and recovery to improve long-term, health, social and economic outcomes
