Following a methamphetamine hui in Dannevirke on July 12, a walk-in centre for P addicts opened in Ward St, but it desperately needs a new home.
Set up through the work of the Tararua Addiction Support Network committee, chaired by Fiona Watson, the Dannevirke centre follows the model being set up all over New Zealand by P-Pull, run by Dennis Makalilo and his partner Liz of Porirua.
They despaired at the lack of any programme designed to help P addicts get free of their addiction.
Dennis began the campaign by setting up a walk-in centre in Porirua to help addicts or families of addicts develop strategies to manage users of methamphetamine.
The walk-in is a non-threatening environment. There is no judgment. People are free to share and talk about their journey, should they wish, openly or listen and ask questions.
Dannevirke's Ward St centre has provided a vital service every Friday from 10am until noon, but due to unforeseen circumstances, the organisation must vacate the premises tomorrow and is desperate to find a new home.
