An Inverness-based addiction charity has received an £11,000 boost to assist with its family project.
According to the Pressandjournal,
Addictions Counselling Inverness (ACI) offers free counselling to family members of those receiving support for alcohol-related issues in the Inverness, Nairn, Badenoch and Strathspey area.
The cash comes from a fund created by the Scotch Whisky Association (SWA) to tackle the effects of alcohol misuse.
The charity offers up to 12 free one-hour counselling sessions per person, providing support to loved ones during their family member’s recovery.
The award of £11,189 from the Scotch Whisky Action Fund comes after a successful first year where 18 people were granted assistance to battle addiction – 33% above the targeted number.
