Testimonial:
“The drugs and alcohol training from Hope UK was excellent. It provided a brilliant introduction to those Youth Workers who are newer to the sector, and a perfect refresher for those who are more experienced. The course was a fantastic mixture of practical and discussion based, and the trainer was knowledgeable and clearly very experienced. We all went away feeling much more confident about our knowledge and are looking forward to the follow-on sessions.”
