Partnership Drugs Initiative

PDI is focused on supporting projects delivering in communities across Scotland that aim to increase the well-being of children and young people affected by drugs and alcohol with the three target areas of support, children and young people that are:

•        At risk of physical and/or emotional neglect due to their parent/carers alcohol and/or other drug use,
•       Struggling to understand or manage change and feelings due to their parents/carers recovery from alcohol and/or drugs.
•        Likely to experiment or use alcohol and other drugs as a coping mechanism by showing signs of: multiple adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), their own risky or damaging use of alcohol and or/other drugs.

PDI provides funding support and will contribute up to a maximum of 50% towards the overall costs of delivering a project/service that will help improve outcomes for children and young people. You can apply for up to three years.
