DRUG CONCERN saw more people last year than ever before.

Manager Tracey Rear (pictured) said 2007 had been a great success, with the charity improving its responsiveness by offering more flexible hours of service provision and working better with prison inmates.

‘It was another successful year for Drug Concern. Largely as a result of our work in the prison, we were able to reach a substantially increased number of clients.’ The charity’s annual report for 2007 showed that the total number of new clients rose by 50% to 298, compared with 2006.
