CADAS
Area: Allerdale, Barrow, Carlisle, Copeland, Eden, South Lakes
Purpose/aim of your organisation:
Most of us at CADAS – staff and volunteers – have been affected by our own or someone else’s problematic addictive behaviour. We really understand the issues that clients face and are able to use that awareness as part of our practice.
At the moment we have 8 trustees, 19 employees and 35 active volunteers/trainee recovery coaches.
From our centres, in Barrow, Kendal, Carlisle and Workington we support clients and offer services face-to-face. We also do some outreach work out of partner premises in other towns around the county. Through the pandemic, we have also become able to offer a fully accessible service to clients wherever they are, via the internet or over the phone.
List of activities and/or services provided by your organisation:
We have office bases where we see clients face to face in 4 areas of the county – Barrow, Kendal, Carlisle and Workington. You can find more information about our centres here.
Where possible, we also work with others to use their community spaces for outreach work. We are now also fully digital and are able to deliver coaching and some group meetings via a digital service.
