Who We Are
Based in Wakefield, Inspiring Futures is the drug and alcohol service for young people and young adults under 25. Inspiring Families supports any family member or carer who is looking after someone experiencing issues with drugs and/or alcohol.
If you want to make changes, whether it’s to cut down, quit, gain control, or just to learn more about the risks and effects of taking drugs and alcohol, we offer a free and confidential service to advise and guide.
How We Support You
What we offer
Inspiring Futures provides non-judgmental, tailored support. Our team is made up of caring, trained professionals who understand what you may be going through as a young person. We understand that every situation is unique, so there's no judgement, only a safe space to talk; in an environment where you feel most comfortable.
Inspiring Families is a specialist support service for family and carers who are directly affected by a person’s substance use. This can be individual support or part of our 5 Step group programme.
