Motiv8 launches funding appeal as referrals rise
A Manx addiction charity says some of its services could be lost if it doesn't secure more funding.
Motiv8 is a charity offering support for children, young people and families of drug and alcohol abuse.
Chief Executive Officer, Thea Ozanturk, says both the Young Person's Drugs Service, and Family Alcohol Service require more funds.
It's launched an appeal for funding, which comes as the service has seen a big rise in people coming to them for help.
Mrs Ozanturk spoke with Alex Wotton:
