People often ask us to speak at schools and youth groups. Occasionally, we can oblige, but mostly we have neither the spare manpower, nor the skills necessary for this age group. Instead we recommend:
Hope UK: National Christian charity encouraging children and young people to make drug-free choices.
Arcade: Reading-based Christian charity, presenting young people with positive choices for a healthy lifestyle, especially regarding alcohol and other drugs.
