About ADS

For over 30 years, we have delivered effective interventions across towns and cities, helping thousands on the road to recovery in Humberside, Lincolnshire, and Yorkshire, supporting the national strategy locally.

The Alcohol & Drug Service is a registered charity (Charity No. 1108595) and a Company Limited by Guarantee (Company No. 05375809). Our funding primarily comes from contracts with statutory bodies like Local Authorities and the NHS, supplemented by grants and fundraising, which support innovative services. Our governance is overseen by a Board of Trustees.

We are part of the Investors in People scheme, currently holding the Silver award, reflecting our commitment to quality and continuous improvement.

Although we have been transforming lives for over three decades, we often work in partnership and deliver services under different project names and identities.

Our Values

We value honesty as the foundation of our work, striving to improve our services through transparency and self-assessment. We believe trust is essential in partnerships with service users, employees, and stakeholders, and it guides our approach to service delivery and organizational culture.
