The Place - Nottingham

Outreach
Our service is available to those aged 16 to 25 in Nottingham City. We provide non-judgmental, fact-based information and support surrounding drug and alcohol use and the associated risks.
We aim to give young people and young adults the knowledge and skills to make more informed choices, to keep themselves and their peers aware, safe and well.
This includes:
- Harm reduction advice and information about drugs and alcohol
- Tips and advice on staying safe while having a good time
- Support to access other help, such as wellbeing and sexual health services
- Onward referral and signposting if needed
- Outreach in the community, at schools, colleges, and universities, at events (like festivals), and as part of the night-time economy (nights out).

Professionals
We offer training for professionals in Nottingham City, focusing on drugs and alcohol. If you are a residential service, youth worker, teacher, key worker or another professional working with groups of young people aged 11-25 years old in Nottingham City, we can provide free awareness sessions.

We want your experience as a volunteer to be a positive one, so we will invest in you with training, support and supervision. You will also be able to claim back travel expenses and be part of a diverse team.
