WELCOME TO WGCADA

WGCADA was started in 1979 by the founder members who were, among others Mr Alan Douglas and Dr Allan Hawkins.

The first premises was a small room above a gent's tailors in the Uplands. Over the years it has grown into a much bigger organisation, with our new premises based at St James Crescent.

The staff now number more than eighty, plus we have a growing number of volunteers and the organisation is expanding all the time. In addition to our Swansea and Port Talbot premises, we have now opened agencies in Neath and Bridgend.

WGCADA's staff have considerable experience, expertise and training in working with people with alcohol and drug problems. The goal of all our centres is to help people with alcohol and drugs problems to lead a more fulfilled life. The organisation also helps those who are affected by someone who has substance misuse problems such as family members and friends.

This year 2009 WGCADA celebrates 30 years of successfully delivering services to help individuals affected by substance misuse, their families and the wider communities.
