Drug and Alcohol misuse has a significant impact on communities across Glasgow, adding to feelings of a lack of safety and security.

Community Services works with other partners to develop and promote community based initiatives aimed at preventing drug and alcohol misuse and its local consequences.

 

 

Key Objectives:

 

  • improving awareness of the causes and impact of drug and alcohol use
  • developing local solutions to drug and alcohol problems
  • enhancing the capacity of communities to resist and address drug and alcohol related crime and anti-social behaviour
  • promoting initiatives which prevent the uptake and inappropriate use of drugs and alcohol, particularly by young people
  • developing better links between funding programmes to support community based responses to drug and alcohol problems
