Thursday’s premiere was attended by representatives from north and west Northamptonshire councils and a range of support services across the county.<\/p>\n

The Office for Improvement and Disparities, which is a government department, gave a grant to the project.<\/p>\n

Alesha Watkins, a partnership development manager for Change Grow Live, encouraged anyone suffering with addiction to reach out to its STAR Northamptonshire, external<\/a> initiative to access support, treatment, advice and recovery.<\/p>\n

“Addiction doesn’t discriminate, it doesn’t care about your postcode, pay grade or profession,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Even the people you don’t think would be coming to addiction services can come to us.<\/p>\n

“It’s just harder for those with social standing to open up and say they need that help. It’s free, confidential and there’s no waiting lists.”<\/p>\n
