Drug and Alcohol Reference Groups

Drug and Alcohol Reference Groups (DARG) are local forums for professionals, practitioners and others concerned with tackling substance misuse issues in their local area. They may consist of local staff from providers, housing groups, neighbourhood police officers, education, employment services, etc, who all have a interest in sharing ideas and seeking solutions to local problems. They are linked in to local community safety partnerships and are supported directly by Hampshire DAAT.
Across Hampshire there are 9 Drug and Alcohol Reference Groups (DARG), which support the local implementation of DAAT priorities and plans, in line with the themes of the National Drugs Strategy.
Information about some of our local DARG may also be found via:

This site is currently being developed to provide useful information and contacts within DARG areas across Hampshire.  If you are interested in contacting or working with your local DARG, please forward details via the DAAT 'Contact Us' section.
