The Aberdeenshire Alcohol and Drug Partnership (ADP) is a partnership of agencies in Aberdeenshire. Our purpose is to promote a vision of a healthier, happier and safer Aberdeenshire free from harm due to alcohol or other drugs. The Aberdeenshire ADP has three community forums, North, Central and South, where people come together and create solutions to local needs around drugs, alcohol and recovery. The purpose of the Aberdeenshire ADP Community Forums is to: Provide an organised forum for local views from service providers, carers and service users to identify unmet need and inform the work of the ADP. Draw from insight of front line alcohol and drug workers and service user 'lived experience'. Establish informal self-maintained family support and self-help recovery networks. Liaise effectively on matters of common interest with other local groups such as local Community Safety Groups. ADP Priorities Prevention working with people of all ages to provide information, raise awareness and reduce alcohol and – drug consumption. Protection keeping children, families and communities safe from alcohol and drug related harm. – Recovery promoting recovery in our communities and supporting people to access local services and support. – Involvement challenging judgemental attitudes, encouraging inclusive communities and influencing change. – £20,000 is made available by the ADP to each Forum to enable the Forums to support funding requests from community members, community organisations and frontline service providers to address locally identified issues relating to prevention, protection or recovery. It would be the exception that significant funds would be allocated to conventionally funded services for routine service delivery. A preference will be given to supporting the growth of community groups and community activism that contribute to prevention or an individual’s recovery.
