🌟 Introducing The Little Book of Hope 🌟
If you or someone you care about is struggling with drugs or alcohol, you are not alone. 💚 There’s a strong network of support across Nottingham – and we’ve put it all in one place.
The Little Book of Hope is an online magazine that signposts to drug and alcohol support services in Nottingham City. It features real stories from people who have accessed these services and information on how to get help.
This resource is the result of a citywide partnership including Nottingham City Council, Double Impact, Al-Hurraya, NHS and more. We are super proud to be a part of it.
Let’s keep building a community of care, hope, and recovery.
