Introduction to New Roots
New Roots was established in 1996 to work with the BME communities on the issues of alcohol misuse and alcohol related harm.
This was a response to extensive research that highlighted an absence in some areas where 50% of the Black & Minority Ethnic communities groups were not accessing any services.
New Roots currently provides Advice & Information and Substance misuse Counselling to those from diverse communities.
