A new drop-in clinic is to open in Grangemouth to help people and families in the town struggling with addiction.
Kersiebank Community Project have teamed up with services throughout Forth Valley to operate their own service for people in the community struggling with all types of addiction.
The centre is going to operate out of the charities existing building in Grangemouth town centre, and will run every Thursday, from tomorrow, between 9:30am and 1pm.
Change Grow Live, which specialises in substance misuse and criminal justice intervention projects, will be on hand to offer one-to-one support sessions and information about injecting and harm reduction.
Donna Murray, one of the projects newest volunteers, said: "This type of service is exactly what the community needs, we continue to see on a daily basis the reasons for poverty and addiction.
"So to be given the opportunity to be a part of something that is greatly needed in our town is fantastic.
"To be able to be a part of the repair system is a personal dream of mines and one step closer to reducing the figures in the town.
"Addiction is everywhere, it's within all of us."
The Forth Valley Family Support services from Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs will be providing resources and help to all involved.
Chairperson of the charity, Bindi Green, said "The charity already runs a very successful foodbank, community cafe and shop.
"This is where our strengths lie and if we all work together throughout the community signposting, networking and interlinking we have a better chance of reaching more people in need.
"We are very proud of this new chapter and we look forward to working with all of our fellow charities and businesses."
