INFORMATION on drug abuse will be available at a drug awareness event in Burnley town centre on Saturday. The event, which follows a similar scheme in June, is being run by Burnley Community Safety Partnership's drugs misuse action group, backed by Burnley Council.
The aim of the day is to provide young people and their parents, guardians and friends with information on a range of issues, from preventing involvement in drugs to spotting signs of abuse and where to turn for help and treatment.
Staff and volunteers from various agencies will be on hand in the Charity Arch, St James Street, from 10am-4pm.
Coun Linda Gauton, chair of the Community Safety Partnership, said: "The response we received from the first awareness event was so positive we decided to hold a second one."
