DRUGSLINE

That this House welcomes the work of Drugsline, the independent drugs crisis, information and support charity; praises their education outreach programme for schools team, comprised of recovering addicts and those who work in frontline addiction services who inspire the trust and confidence of the young people they visit; notes that in the academic year 2006-07 the charity saw over 30,000 students aged eight to 18 and aims to reach 50,000 in 2007-08; notes that charities such as Drugsline remain massively under-resourced with little or no Government funding; and calls on the Government to give serious consideration to adequately funding preventative drugs education programmes such as Drugsline.
