The Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation

We provide evidence-based drug education for young people, parents and professionals across the UK, and we’re over the moon to have received such a generous Movement for Good grant this year which will enable us to take drug education forward significantly and nationally. Our grant will enable us to build on the rapid progress we’ve already made in Scotland, where drug deaths are by far the highest in Europe. The impact of our programme, evidenced through the evaluation of last year’s pilot, has opened doors we can now walk confidently though, and establish our Scottish base and extend our reach across the country. Our grant will also allow us to take great strides towards achieving our ambition to ‘fix drug education’, through funding the recently launched national Drug Education Forum. This will mean we can get this flying from its very positive start, and reach more providers, practitioners and policy makers across the UK so we can together to make drug education better for all young people, which will ultimately save young lives.
