Who We Are
If drugs or alcohol are negatively impacting your life, your health, or people you care about, we can support you to make a change.
You might think you're having one too many drinks on the sofa while watching TV. Or maybe you're using too many party drugs on a night out. No matter what you need or where your head is at, we can help.
As the oldest free of charge drug and alcohol support service in England, we've been supporting a diverse range of people across Central and West London communities for over 50 years. We have women only spaces, where you can access confidential one-to-one support, join a range of wellbeing classes, or meet with other women who have similar experiences. All for free. We're available for residents in the London Boroughs of Hammersmith & Fulham, Kensington and Chelsea, and Westminster.
How We Support You
Getting in touch with us is easy
The quickest way to get support is to drop into one of our hubs or to give us a call (details below).You can also fill in our online form and we should get back to you within one working day.
The first step in the journey
We'll arrange an initial assessment, which is a chance for you to meet us in person or over the phone. You can tell us about yourself and start thinking about what support you might like.
Your first one-to-one session
You will be matched with a key worker, who you’ll build a relationship with on your journey to making positive changes. In your first session, we’ll do a wellbeing check-in and ensure you have a warm cup of tea. Together, we’ll explore what support might best suit you and what manageable goals we can set. Goals could range from stopping use to developing healthier habits and behaviours.
Ongoing support for you and the people you care about
Your key worker will offer you regular one-to-one sessions to work through your goals and to offer support and guidance to help you make positive changes. You may also:
- Have a medical assessment with one of our doctors
- Start one of our recovery programmes to support you in things such as managing emotions, learning coping mechanisms, or being kinder to yourself
- Engage in workshops with other women to help build self-esteem and confidence
- Connect with other like-minded women through day-trips, walks around London or other social activities
- Be supported to go on a course, learn a new skill or find a volunteering opportunity to build new habits and routine
- Provided with useful information and resources, including an online support programme for friends and family
You're not alone
Aaliyah recently reached out to us to get support with her binge drinking and party drugs. “The support and kindness I've received has been life changing. I learnt so much information about my habits and it gave me new perspective. They don't judge you here at all. What I've learnt has built confidence in all aspects of my life." Aaliyah
Rina got support from us around her cannabis use. "Immediately I felt listened to, understood and accepted. It was so nice to be heard and among likeminded people. After my first appointment I felt a feeling of relaxing that I hadn't felt in a long time." Rina
Preventing Overdose
To help reduce drug-related deaths we provide free overdose response Naloxone kits to people at risk of an opioid overdose, their family and friends, and members of the public who could help prevent an overdose.
Naloxone is a medication that can quickly reverse the effects of an opioid overdose, including those related to heroin, methadone, morphine, buprenorphine, codeine and synthetic opioids, like nitazenes and fentanyl. Order yourself a kit through our Naloxone Click & Deliver service and help save lives.
