About Us

Footprints is a brand new organisation for carers of dependents on alcohol or drugs.

Footprints' purpose is to offer carers the same kind of care, concern, support and encouragement that they give to those who depend on them.

How?

• By growing to understand your personal and unique journey

• By providing support via email, telephone or letter

• By hosting group meetings

In What Setting?
One to one, face to face contact - a place for you with others in a group setting. Here you will find others who walk a similar path to you. Others who also have to find ways of coping on a daily and sometimes nightly basis. Others who cope with difficult situations and problems similar to yours.

Why Footprints?
Although there are very competent organisations already established we understand that what works for some does not necessarily work for everyone. Our aim is to work with you and not to impose upon you what we think you should and should not do.

Footprints Core Belief:
As an individual and carer you are unique and we believe that we can learn from each other the kind of support that will be of greatest value to you. This will be best achieved in an atmosphere of acceptance, empathy and confidentiality and this is what we aim to provide.
