IT’S the bridge for people to the drug and alcohol support services they need. But with its focus on prevention, it also offers education, support and alternatives to teenagers.

This week, a fiercely contested soccer tournament will kick off as part of the Knocknaheeny Hollyhill Drug and Alcohol Project’s (KHDA) annual nine-week summer programme.

“The programme is just one of several diversionary projects run by the project to give kids an alternative,” project manager Tony Fitzgerald said.
