Freedom from Addiction

Research* shows the following. • Over 320,000 problem drug users of opiates and cocaine. • Significantly higher percentage of the population addicted than any of our immediate neighbours. • Our mean alcohol consumption is higher too. • 5 per cent of 15-39 year olds use cocaine. • The age of initiation has consistently fallen. • Care leavers, the homeless and young offenders have disproportionately higher levels of problematic drug and alcohol use than the rest of the population. • A reasonable estimate is that half of the UK’s near 80,000 prison population are problem drug users. • Drugs are now a rural as well as an urban problem. • Some 350,000 children have drug addicted parents and one million have alcohol addicted parents. *Centre for Social Justice

New Hope

In 1999 two heroin addicts attended a service at the Church of the Nazarene in South Leeds. They were desperate for help. Our Pastor David Montgomery contacted some of the local agencies and soon realized how frustrating this was, as there were waiting lists the length of your arm.
