Conversation café to gather views about local alcohol and drug support

People who have experience of alcohol or drug use are invited to come along to an informal conversation café to help shape future support in the Falkirk area.

The café will be held at the Forth Valley Sensory Centre in Camelon between 10am and 12 noon on Thursday 30 May.

The event is being hosted by Falkirk Alcohol and Drug Partnership, which brings together people with lived experience and Falkirk Council, NHS Forth Valley, and other community organisations to plan local services.

People who have experience of alcohol or drug use are invited to come along to an informal conversation café to help shape better support in the Falkirk area.

Coffee, tea, and snacks will be provided, while attendees take part in small group discussions about their experience of accessing support.

Feedback and views will help shape the Partnership’s new three-year strategy and delivery plan.

The Partnership is also seeking people to join its new Lived Experience Panel, which offers regular opportunities to inform decisions being made about local support options. People can learn more about the Panel and sign up while at the conversation café.

The Conversation Cafe is open to everyone – people with personal experience, those who have supported others, and staff helping to deliver or co-ordinate support.
