The Daniel Spargo-Mabbs Foundation is a drug and alcohol education charity that aims to support young people to make safer choices about drugs and alcohol and reduce harm. We do this through increasing understanding of the effects and risks, and helping to develop life skills and resilience. The Foundation was set up in January 2014 by Tim and Fiona Spargo-Mabbs in response to the death of their 16-year-old son Daniel having taken ecstasy. The objectives of the Daniel-Spargo Mabbs Foundation:

to provide evidence-based and innovative educational resources and programmes, support and advisory services about substance misuse for promoting healthy, informed choices for young people. to work directly with young people, schools, families, professionals and the community in increasing awareness about substance misuse. to empower young people with the knowledge, life skills and confidence they need to choose lives free of substance misuse. to support initiatives to educate young people about substance misuse through partnerships with them, schools, families, professionals, charities, universities and other agencies.
