Re-Solv is a UK charity that supports people whose lives are affected by solvent abuse across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
We deeply appreciate our funders, who enable us to provide a range of additional local services.
In England
Thanks to the generosity of The National Lottery Community Fund, The Tudor Trust and The British Aerosol Manufacturers’ Association, we offer the following services for free:
- Telephone and online support, including counselling, for people affected by solvent abuse, whether directly or indirectly.
- One-to-one, face-to-face, ongoing support for adults using solvents, depending on location.
- Workshops and training for peer mentors and volunteers working within the recovery community.
- Professional training for substance misuse services, and for those in health, housing, care and young people’s services.
- School sessions and outreach work with FE and Higher Education students.
Stafford Borough
Re-Solv partners with Stafford Borough Council to run a community-based prevention project. We work with young people, community members, families and schools to build resilience within communities and help young people make healthy, positive life choices.
In Scotland
The Scottish Government funds Re-Solv through Corra Foundation to continue delivering our core work nationally.
This valuable funding allows us to:
- Raise awareness of solvent abuse among young people, parents/carers, relevant services and policy makers.
- Provide professional training and increase capacity for all stakeholders to ensure equal access to skilled solvent abuse services and support, on par with service for illegal drugs.
- Offer early intervention and support for children, young people and families affected by solvent abuse, with the longer-term goal of increasing young people’s resilience.
