Story

For 40 years, ACI Recovery Services has been a lifeline for individuals and families battling addiction across the Highlands. But now, we’re facing our toughest challenge yet.

Funding cuts mean we could lose our ability to provide the life-saving, one-to-one counselling that has helped 2,223 people rebuild their lives over the past decade alone.

The need has never been greater.

Waitlists are growing.

Referrals are at an all-time high.

Families are desperate for help.

Without ACI, many will have nowhere to turn.

But there’s hope.

With your support, we can continue offering compassionate, trauma-informed care to those who need it most.

£25 could fund a counselling session for someone in crisis.

£100 could help a family access the support they need to heal together.

£500 could keep our doors open for another week.

Together, we can ensure no one is left behind.
