We're proud to launch The Big Addiction Conversation. Taking Action on Addiction, a Forward Trust campaign, wants to start 17,000 conversations about #addiction. Find out why by visiting the campaign hub ⬇️ takingactiononaddiction.org.… #BigAddictionConversation
Every one of the 17,000 people who die from drug-and alcohol-related causes each year is far more than a statistic. That's why we're launching The Big Addiction Conversation: a year-long mission to start 17,000 conversations about addiction across the UK.
