    VALUE FOR MONEY

    How do we know that what Build on Belief does provides value for money in working to support people who are busy dealing with their substance use problems and trying to make positive changes in their lives? Well, in the past financial year we learned the following . . .

    Our services in London were accessed by 2499 individuals

    They came into our projects a total of 38,239 times

    A total of 238 individuals, almost all of them having had their own substance use problems, volunteered with us. 

    We achieved this for a total expenditure of £462,775

    A CALL TO ACTION

    An Influential Voice

    Expand

    The staff, volunteers and service users at the charity are able to bring a unique perspective to the wider debate on the treatment of individuals who have had difficulties with their substance use. Where possible we use our lived experience, our voice and our influence to contribute to both research and policy, in the hope that we can make a small difference toward changing the lives of others for the better. This can be demonstrated not only in our attendance at the APPG on Drugs, Justice and Alcohol, but also in our submissions of evidence for . . .
