The Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland has announced that its Partnership Drugs Initiative (PDI) is now open for applications.

The overall aim of the PDI is to increase the well-being of children and young people affected by drugs and alcohol. In particular the Foundations wants to support:

Children and young people affected by parental substance issues (drugs and alcohol)
Pre-teen children at high risk of developing problems with drugs and alcohol
Young people who are developing or have established substance use problems (drugs and alcohol)

Funding is available for up to 3 years. Projects will still need to identify 50% matched funding for proposals; support and endorsement from Alcohol and Drugs Partnerships (ADPs) is also a requirement for receiving support.

The closing date for submitting the initial outline application form is Friday 18^th November.

For further information, or to apply for funding, please visit the Lloyds TSB Foundation PDI website.
