A family support service has provided space to help people who are unable to cope with substance misuse since 1999.

Sanctuary Family Support was set up 23 years ago by four mothers who had family who were drug and substance abusers. They decided to do something for themselves because there were no services in the south end of Liverpool for them to get help.

Maddy Vaz has been a trustee and also managed the service, all on a voluntary basis, throughout this time.
