One in four children in the UK currently live with ‘addicted parents’, and the 3.6 million youngsters are found to be seven times more likely to develop similar problems.

Families experiencing substance misuse can make dealing with day to day life difficult.  This can lead to stress and pressure within the family home and negatively affect relationships. 

Evidence shows that the best intervention for children is when their parents stop taking drugs and alcohol, and this can be achieved through our rehabilitation service ACORN Recovery Projects.

#Go Without aims to give children surrounded by addiction and recovery, opportunities and support in a safe environment away from their day to day situation, where they have the freedom to speak and express their feelings, ultimately gaining some much needed relief.

#Go Without, whether it’s that £3.00 coffee on the way to work or your weekly glossy magazines, go without something today to make a difference to a child that goes without.
