Action on Addiction

The Charity takes a uniquely comprehensive approach to fulfilling its mission, covering the spectrum from prevention to recovery; including providing residential and non-residential treatment and recovery programmes, supporting families and children through a variety of interventions, as well as training professionals to work to a higher standard than ever before, commissioning research and engaging in advocacy, particularly against the stigma that so unhelpfully attaches to its beneficiaries.

The Charity is privileged to enjoy the patronage of Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge which not only brings benefits to Action on Addiction but also to the cause of disarming addiction as a whole.

Action on Addiction is keen to retain its independence in order to best serve its beneficiaries. This allows creativity in its search for more effective ways to disarm addiction. For example, the Brink in Liverpool, the UK’s first charity-owned alcohol free bar/cafe and entertainment
