The Sport Against Addiction campaign highlights the positive role that sport can play in helping people overcome an addiction, or preventing them from developing one. It encourages people to get active, to help those suffering from an addiction, and promotes a healthy lifestyle to all.

We take action to disarm addiction. We do this through research, treatment, family support, education and training.
