A capitol bid was submitted to Welsh Assembly Government for funding to cover renovation costs and equipment. The purpose was to provide a local base from which drug and alcohol services can be delivered to the residents of Torfaen. The lighthouse set out to:

o Provide a focal point for substance misuse services within Torfaen, thus increasing the numbers accessing services and public & professional’s awareness of the availability of services o Allow individuals to access treatment in a convenient location, minimising the need for client travel and thus increasing client retention and positive treatment outcomes o Increase the quality of service provision by allowing for the provision of services in a dedicated substance misuse centre rather than peripatetically o Facilitate improved multi agency working via the co-location of all substance misuse services working in the locality

This position within Drugaid provides the opportunity to raise awareness of substance misuse services within the local community; It has been achieved by forging meaningful working relationships with other partner agencies across the borough, this has resulted in more collaborative work.

The Lighthouse’s reception function is a multi agency effort which was implemented in 2010, each agency dedicates staff to cover the main duties on a fortnightly half day cover basis.
