Tynemouth MP today met with the Chief Executive and staff from PROPS to discuss their work in North Tyneside.

Positive Response to Overcoming Problems of Substance Misuse (PROPS) is a North East based support service for individuals, families and carers of those living with alcohol and substance misuse. PROPS provides a wide range of support services such as: one-to-one support, counselling, drug awareness training, a confidential out-of-hours helpline, volunteer support and respite breaks.

Alan Campbell said “PROPS do extremely valuable work in our local community.  It’s important to remember that it’s often the families of those with alcohol and substance misuse problems who bear the brunt of burden.  More importantly PROPS are there to offer them the support that is needed through what can be an extremely difficult time.”
