My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for my dad 'Irish Frank'.

He was sadly taken away from us on 2nd January 2012 aged 56 years old.

My memories of my dad were that he was funny, mad, kind, generous and always doing his best to help people out. Wherever Frank went you would be sure that there would be a story to tell.

Unfortunately he lost his personal battle with drink addiction and he will be sadly missed by all, especially his daughter Sophie.

Please give as much or as little as you can afford. No donation is too small.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thank you

NACOA's latest research indicates that there are at least 920,000 children and young people, under the age of 18, in the UK today living in a home where one or both parents have a problem with alcohol. Seventy percent of these children will try to hide the problem from the outside world. They are often frightened and isolated, with no one to turn to for help.
