Who we are

Drug & Alcohol Service for London (DASL) is a registered charity, providing services for people with drug and alcohol problems in Newham, a smoking cessation project in Tower Hamlets and an 'Older People and Alcohol' project in Bexley and Greenwich.

We have been in existence in various forms for over 30 years now, and we provide a whole range of services that you can read about on this website.

What we do

At DASL we work hard to provide services that are friendly and welcoming and we have highly committed staff who are experienced and qualified in drug and alcohol work.

Over the past few years, DASL has continued to extend its services in a planned and steady way, taking into account gaps in service provision, customer choice and government priorities. We have balanced this growth with our desire to stay rooted in our core mission to provide services for communities that are currently underserved and hard to reach, and this is reflected in our Mission Statement:

"Drug & Alcohol Service for London exists to respond to the needs of and educate the growing number of people experiencing alcohol and drug problems within different communities whilst aiming to reduce the impact of alcohol and drug misuse and its consequences."
