Dumbarton Area Council on Alcohol (DACA) used its annual general meeting to launch a film about its services.
The community-based charity provides advice and counselling for anyone who is affected by their own or someone else’s alcohol-related problems.
The 10-minute movie was produced by media student Natalia Wilinska and gives a overview of the charity’s 42-year history and the range of services on offer at premises in Dumbarton and Clydebank.
DACA opted to use the newly-renovated council offices in Church Street for its AGM, which provided the ideal venue for the film’s launch.
DACA chairman, David Wilson, said: “The main civic space in the Burgh Hall is a good venue for a large gathering, and the huge projection screens made it perfect for our film showing.”
In the film, volunteer counsellor Mary Burch described the agency’s core counselling service, saying: “Counselling is very much about listening to people, seeing the whole person. We deal with alcohol issues but sometimes there is a lot more going on.”
As part of DACA’s new Steps to Recovery project, the charity offers a twice weekly open social drop-in on Monday morning and Wednesday evening in the premesis at Westbridgend Lodge, Dumbarton.
