Three new projects to help combat the effects on families of drug and alcohol abuse in West Lothian have won almost £1m of funding.
The extra money has come as the numbers seeking help from services doubled during the pandemic, and will help maintain and expand some services.
The West Lothian Alcohol and Drug Partnership, (ADP) has been awarded funding through the national CORRA Foundation charity, which in 2020 set up a ten year plan to tackle poverty and empower communities through grant aid. The Foundation is backed by Scottish Government for its National Mission on Drug Deaths launched last year which has allocated an additional £50m to tackle the nationwide surge in drug deaths.
