WELCOME...

Everyone knows a 'Dave'. He always buys the first round. And the last. He hates seeing a drink half finished bottle, so he'll finish it.

He's a really great guy. Everybody loves him. But what he loves is a drink. His life is getting out of control, but he can’t see it. Neither can he see the effect it’s having on those around him.

For his sake, and everybody else's, it’s time to Save Dave.

That's why we're launching SAVE DAVE. It will provide support and a free confidential service to anyone over 16 experiencing alcohol related difficulties.

We know people drink excessively for all sorts of reasons but we're not here to sit in judgement. We’re only here to offer practical advice to help them get their life back on track.

You can contact the service about yourself, a friend or a relative. We also accept referrals from health and social care professionals.

Dave is a fictional character that anyone can relate to, in fact he could be any Tom, Dick or Harry. There are approximately 8,000 'Daves' in Portsmouth who are drinking at levels which will damage their health. Are you one of them?
