I am a church worker…
There is much that a local church can do to engage with drug and alcohol issues in the community as part of its social action programme. Prevention often has a lower priority than helping people with problems and yet it remains true that ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure’.
The Church section of our website offers a one-stop resource that includes activities for Sundays, mid-week meetings, children, young people and parents. In addition, there is plenty of information and advice about what to do when you when someone in your church needs help.

Hope UK offers a variety of options for those doing voluntary or paid youth work – all designed to help them include alcohol and drug prevention work within their programme. Drug Educators can provide interactive presentations for young people and adults. Our preference, however, is to train youth leaders to do their own drug awareness work throughout the year. Special sessions with young people by a Hope UK Drug Educator can then be part of an overall drug prevention strategy.
