It was an honour to work alongside the staff with Parents and children affected directly by addiction to develop these posters highlighting the importance of #Naloxone @FrontlineMCie #IOAD2023

This week we mark International Overdose Awareness Day - an annual campaign to remember those who have died from overdose and acknowledge the grief of family and friends who are left behind. #IOAD2023 #EndOverdoseIRL #WeSeeYou

A powerful poem written by a Frontline client who recently completed one of our programmes. John was inspired to write about his and others experience with addiction and the tools that they now have to work towards making positive changes in their lives.

All support for this is greatly appreciated. Without support for these fundraisers, we wouldn't be able to run events like the Hano Cup, POTY, Santa in Richmond. Funds raised also help us support projects that benefit the club, supporters, charities and the local community. 🔴⚪
