Hear an interview with Cllr Kitcat about a major funding boost to innovative work tackling addiction in the city. Groundbreaking work In Brighton & Hove to help communities and families tackle addiction and the anti-social behaviour it can cause has been awarded new European Union funding. The £90,000 award comes two years after Brighton & Hove City Council was awarded more than £200,000 of Intereg funding to deliver a three-year project called Communities and Families Tackling Addiction (CAFTA). The project has involved working with two European partners – Rotterdam in the Netherlands and Calais in France – to share good practice and improve services for communities and individuals affected by someone else’s drug or alcohol use. #brighton #council #snap #eu #cafta #kitcat
