The Family Recovery Initiative Fund (FRIF) now offers one-off grants of up to £5000 to groups that support families affected by alcohol and drugs in Scotland.
The aim of FRIF is to improve the wellbeing of family members affected by someone else’s harmful substance use based on creating opportunities for people to connect with other people through group activities, and if required, access further support (with this group or through services).
Some things the FRIF has funded has been weekly rent for premises, travel expenses, printing costs, group activities, training, and much more!
The Family Recovery Initiative Fund is funded by the Scottish Government Drugs Policy Unit and is supported and managed by Scottish Families.
