释义 |
Lifeline project was a drug and alcohol abuse charity based in Manchester. It was established in 1971 and ran services across Yorkshire, the North East, the North West, London and the Midlands. Paul Flowers was chair of the organisation until 2014 when he was asked to resign over allegedly excessive expenses claims. The charity supported 900 people in York with a team of 50 staff made up of recovery workers, criminal justice workers, young people’s workers, nurses, doctors and volunteers.[1] They are involved in Thames Valley Police’s initiative for Alcohol Harm Reduction Week in Oxford, aiming to keep students who have left home for the first time safe from alcohol-related crime.[2] It was involved in a safe haven for drunks and vulnerable people in Middlesbrough which is designed to relieve pressure on the casualty department at James Cook University Hospital freeing up A&E professionals to deal with genuine emergencies.[3] In December 2014 Manchester Mental Health and Social Care Trust won a contract to lead the running of health services at both Strangeways prison and HM Prison Buckley Hall in Rochdale. They will work with Lifeline to deliver services aimed at reducing drug and alcohol problems among prisoners.[4] On the 19th May 2017, the charity collapsed, just after the Charity Commission for England and Wales launched an investigation into its financial controls. At that time it employed almost 1,500 people. CGL were expected to take over some of their staff and projects.[5] References1. ^{{cite news|title=York Central MP Hugh Bayley visits the Lifeline Project on Micklegate|url=http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/11063129.Help_at_hand_for_drug_and_alcohol_addicts_in_York/|accessdate=14 December 2014|publisher=York Press|date=8 March 2014}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Police offer out help to city's new students|url=http://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/11488824.Police_offer_out_help_to_city_s_new_students/?ref=mr|accessdate=14 December 2014|publisher=Oxford Mail|date=23 September 2014}} 3. ^{{cite news|title=Safe Haven for drunks in Middlesbrough|url=http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/news/11664993.Safe_Haven_for_drunks_in_Middlesbrough/|accessdate=14 December 2014|publisher=Northern Echo|date=12 December 2014}} 4. ^{{cite news|title=Strangeways prisoners to get better healthcare in £50m deal|url=http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/prisoners-strangeways-better-healthcare-50m-8276535|accessdate=14 December 2014|publisher=Manchester Evening News|date=12 December 2014}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Drug and alcohol charity Lifeline Project collapses|url=https://www.theguardian.com/society/2017/may/18/drug-and-alcohol-charity-lifeline-project-collapses|accessdate=20 May 2017|publisher=Guardian|date=18 May 2017}} External links
