A nationwide non-profit organisation has hit the streets of Marton with hopes of starting a conversation and putting an end of the use of meth in the community.
The Anti P Ministry was founded in 2007 in Wellington by Brendon Warne and gained traction and a community through social media.
Fast forward 13 years, the organisation has not only gained two mobile buses to take around the country to share their message but the organisation has also started up in Australia and the US.
One of the 7000 members is Marton home owner Hemi Blake who is now part of the team who gets out into communities and educates them on how people can overcome addiction and keep themselves and their families safe.
"A lot of the team are members, we've just taken our own initiative to clean up our own communities after recovery and from being in the realm we see it on the streets, we're very clear-minded, we see the bad man, we see the dealer, the cook and they notice us and it's a good thing because we're putting it to them that we're here and we care," he said.
