Hawkspring

Who we are

We are a charity and a company limited by guarantee, a community rooted organisation based in Hartcliffe, South Bristol.

We provide services across the wider Bristol area and address the needs of families who are adversely affected by substance misuse.

Our work is intensive, holistic and life changing. Our services combine prevention, crisis intervention, treatment and education for individuals as young as five right through to pensioners.

We aim to lessen the negative impact of drug and alcohol misuse on vulnerable individuals, families and the community. We are the only service in Bristol, and wider afield, offering this range of specialist support; and we are also the only service that supports primary school aged children within the school environment.

Our unique approach enables members of the same family to access support in the same place.
