The Corra Foundation is a Scottish charity that administers funding and support programs to strengthen communities and support families affected by challenges, including substance misuse. While Corra does not directly provide frontline services, they play a key role in funding and connecting families to vital support services across Scotland.
Through the Scottish Government’s National Drugs Mission Funds, Corra administers the Local Support Fund and Family Recovery Initiative Fund, providing grants to grassroots organizations that offer frontline services for families affected by drug or alcohol misuse. These services include peer support groups, counseling, and practical assistance in areas like Glasgow, Edinburgh, and rural communities, helping families cope with a loved one’s substance use.
Corra collaborates with partners like Scottish Families Affected by Alcohol and Drugs (SFAD) to ensure families access tailored support, such as one-to-one advice or group sessions to reduce isolation and build resilience. Their website provides information on funded projects and signposts to local services delivering family-focused support for those impacted by substance misuse.
Their approach is inclusive and non-judgmental, focusing on empowering communities and families through funding and partnerships that enhance access to recovery and harm reduction resources.
For more information, contact Corra Foundation via their phone, email, or website, or reach out to SFAD (08080 10 10 11, helpline@sfad.org.uk) for direct family support referrals.
