Search is on for unsung heroes in the fight against drug misuse in Bradford, Hull, Ryedale & Scarborough

Published: Tue, 12 Jun 2007 11:34:47

Home Office Minister Vernon Coaker yesterday launched Tackling Drugs Changing Lives Awards 2007 at a football match with 2006 awards finalists, Dads Against Drugs (a Hull based) and Lambeth North Positive Futures Scheme.

The awards recognise, reward and celebrate the people on the front-line who are working to tackle drugs and change lives every day. Many people deal with drug-related issues - from housing officers and youth workers to police teams, prison officers, social workers and drug treatment providers - and all are eligible for the award scheme.

Two awards are available, one for an individual and one for a team, each winner will receive £10,000 for their organisation to spend on the prevention or treatment of drug misuse.
