Leadership & Governance

Guided by Purpose, Driven by People

As Scotland’s leading charity dedicated to supporting individuals affected by alcohol, drugs and trauma, we work to reduce harm and empower people to live healthier, more fulfilled lives.

Our Chief Executive and Management Team translate our vision into action — delivering vital, person-centred services where they are most needed. They are supported by our Board of Trustees, who provide strategic leadership and governance, ensuring our work remains aligned with our founding values while evolving to meet today’s complex challenges.

Together, we are committed to creating lasting, positive change across communities in Scotland.
