We now have a Veteran Community Hub, Steeplegate, Vicar lane where there is always a warm welcome and the brew kit is mashing. Call in to chat with a fellow Veteran. The service we provide at STAND TO is confidential. This means that we do not give out information about the people we see without their knowledge and consent. However, in some circumstances we do have to share information without their permission. For example, if we know that a child or a vulnerable person is at immediate risk or if we know that a law is being broken we are bound to share this information with the appropriate services. If you have concerns about this, please make contact and speak to one of our team. How do I refer? We always encourage self-referrals; however we also accept referrals from other professional services and agencies. To make a referral please contact the Single Point of Contact for Derbyshire Alcohol Services on 01246 959333 and they will be happy to take your details. From there a STAND TO worker will be in touch as soon as possible
