About ADS
For over 30 years, we have delivered effective interventions in towns and cities. We’ve helped thousands of local people on the road to recovery, across Humberside, Lincolnshire and Yorkshire, as we help the national strategy on a local basis.
The Alcohol & Drug Service is a charity (Registered Charity 1108595; and a Company Limited by Guarantee, Company No. 05375809). The majority of our funding comes through contracts with statutory commissioners such as Local Authorities and the NHS, but we receive valuable income from charitable grants and individual fundraising efforts which supports many of our most innovative services. We are governed by a Board of Trustees.
We ensure that the organisation is run well and we are a part of the Investors in People scheme, a quality framework which is independently audited. We currently hold the Silver award.
But, even though we’ve been transforming the lives of people affected by drugs or alcohol misuse for over 30 years, some people may not have heard of us. This is because we always work in partnership – and often deliver our services and projects which have their own names/identities.
Our Values
We believe that honesty underpins all that we do. We seek to improve our services and in order to identify lessons we must be honest with ourselves regarding our performance.
We believe that trust is the foundation of an effective partnership approach and that partnership is the defining characteristic of our relationship with service users, employees and those who purchase services from us.
We believe that there is strength in diversity and that through embracing diversity new solutions and innovations are born.
We believe that in order to encourage diversity fairness, a non-judgemental approach and transparency are vital.
We believe that our sole raison d’être is to deliver effective services to service users and carers.
We believe that no two people are the same, as a result personalised solutions are required and to achieve this people must be treat as individuals and services must be flexible in meeting their needs.
We believe that with the right support service users are able to identify and implement changes which will enhance their lives.
We believe that evidence based services that are continuously developing in the light of experience produce the most effective outcomes for service users.
We believe that the effective use of resources and a value for money approach will maximise the number of service users we are able to support.
We believe that the best services are delivered by people who care about what they do.
We believe that hope and belief are nurtured in others when they encounter people who care.
