Vision: People free from addiction and its effects.
• Aim: To be acknowledged as a leading UK addiction charity as a result of our work.
• Action on Addiction take action to disarm addiction through research, treatment, family support, education and training.
• The Duchess of York is helping launch their M-PACT program (Moving Parents and Children), which is designed to meet the needs of children affected by parental substance misuse. It helps children aged between 10-16 whose parents have drug and/or alcohol problems. Children, young people and parents from different families are invited to meet, and a team of four people will help them find ways to get on with each other, so that life improves and becomes safer for everyone. Each programme has up to eight families participating.
