Family Drug Support

Family Drug Support was formed after its founder Tony Trimingham lost his son to a heroin overdose.

Bereft, Tony felt frustrated by the general apathy and ignorance of his own experience. This was also the plight of many other families.

Realising this was but the tip of the iceberg, a public meeting was called where hundreds of people attended. FDS was formed as a result.

This site contains up to date information on all aspects of illicit drug and alcohol use relative to the families of drug users.
